• The CAMERA ID stops at the edges of the monitor screen.
• The CAMERA ID moves faster if any of 

L/M/J/K is kept pressed for a sec-

ond or more.

You can select the mode for adjusting the lens iris.

If you use the auto iris lens, select this parameter.

If you use a fixed or manual iris lens, select this parameter.

The factory default setting is ALC.

1. Move the cursor to ALC/ELC.
2. Select ALC or ELC.

1. Under bright lighting conditions such as outdoors, use an ALC type lens because the

ELC control range is not wide enough under these conditions.

2. Use an ALC type lens if the following phenomena occur:

• Strong smear and/or blooming on highlight objects such as spotlight or sunlight

from windows.

• Noticeable flicker in the picture and/or color rendition variations.

3. If ELC is selected, SUPER-D2 and SHUTTER are not available and white balance mode

is automatically set to ATW1 or ATW2 previously set.

4. If ELC is selected for ALC/ELC and used with the fixed iris lens in, the focal depth

becomes shallower than with the ALC type lens. Therefore, the range of focus-to-object
distance becomes narrower.

The important object in a scene is usually placed in the center of the monitor screen. In the
SUPER-D2 mode, more photometric weight is given to the center of the screen (where the
important object is located) than to the edge of the screen (where a bright backlight would
most likely be located). You can use the SUPER-D2 function if you select ALC. It eliminates
interference by strong background lighting which makes the camera picture dark, such as a
spotlight.

I. The  ALC

CONT menu appears.

select ON.
