    Solution

    When recording in dark surroundings, the camcorder will automatically increase the gain to try to get a brighter picture. By setting a maximum gain value, you can limit the amount of noise in the picture and keep a darker look. This function can only be used when the shooting mode is set to P, Tv or Av.
    IMPORTANT
    The AGC limit cannot be set in the following cases:
    • When the exposure is locked.
    • When infrared recording is activated.

    Setting the Automatic Gain Control (AGC) Limit
    1. Set the mode switch to .



    2. Set the power switch to CAMERA.



    3. Touch [FUNC] on the shooting screen.



    4. Select [ AGC Limit ].



    5. Select [ ].
    • An adjustment dial will appear on the screen.


    REFERENCE
    Select [ ] again to return the camcorder to automatic gain control.

    6. Drag your finger along the dial to set the desired maximum gain value.


    NOTE
    • You can select an AGC limit from 0.0 dB to 38.0 dB.
