Adjusting the Gain

You can adjust the gain to adjust the brightness.

Adjusting the gain automatically

  1. Press the multi-function dial to display the direct menu, turn the dial to select on the left of the gain display, and press the dial.
    The [AGC] direct menu appears.
  2. Select [Auto] and press the dial.

Hint

  • The same operation is supported by setting [Shooting] – [Auto Exposure] – [AGC] to [On] in the full menu.
  • When the AUTO/MANUAL switch is set to AUTO, [AGC] is forcibly set to [On].
  • You can also assign [AGC] to an assignable button.

Adjusting the gain manually

You can control the gain when you want to adjust the exposure while using a fixed iris setting or when you want to prevent the gain increasing due to AGC.

  1. Operate the multi-function dial to display the [AGC] direct menu and select [Manual].
  2. Set the GAIN switch to L, M, or H.

Hint

  • You can change the preset value of each switch position using [Gain<L>]/[Gain<M>]/[Gain<H>] on the [Camera] status screen or [Shooting] – [Gain] – [Gain<L>]/[Gain<M>]/[Gain<H>] in the full menu.
  • You can also assign [Push AGC] to an assignable button, and set [AGC] to [On] temporarily while the button is pressed.

Controlling the gain (fine adjustment)

  1. Press the multi-function dial to display the direct menu, turn the dial to select the gain display.
    Press the dial so that the gain value is displayed on a white background.
  2. Turn the multi-function dial to adjust the value.

Note

  • Change the gain preset value according to the GAIN switch setting.

Hint

  • You can also display the gain on a white background by pressing an assignable button assigned with [Gain].

Controlling the gain temporarily (fine adjustment)

Assign [Gain] to the multi-function dial and adjust the value set by the GAIN switch using the dial.

This is useful when you want to adjust the exposure by one step without changing the depth of field.

The temporarily adjusted value is canceled by switching the GAIN switch, setting [AGC] to [On], or turning the power off.

Hint

  • You can also assign [Push AGC] to an assignable button, and set [AGC] to [On] temporarily while the button is pressed.
  • You can also assign the [Gain] function to the assignable dial on the grip remote control (option).
