# [USER SW GAIN] switching setting

In addition to the standard gain that can be set to <L>/<M>/<H> of the <GAIN> switch, [S.GAIN] (super gain) mode for increasing analog gain to 30 dB or more and [DS.GAIN] (digital super gain) mode for incrementally increasing gain using progressive drive can also be used in this camera.

For selection of this function, set the gains to be used in [S.GAIN] and [DS.GAIN] respectively in advance. Each item can be selected in the [CAMERA] menu → [USER SW GAIN].

When [S.GAIN] and [DS.GAIN] are assigned to one of the USER buttons, gain can be increased by a combination with assigned USER buttons.

When increasing gain without an increase in noise | Use the digital super gain function.
When increasing regular analog gain (Noise increases) | Use only the super gain function. The precision of auto iris, white balance and black balance is affected due to increased noise.
When using as a super high-sensitivity mode | Use a combination of the super gain and digital super gain functions. Note, however, that residual images will stand out more with moving subjects the greater the value for increasing gain by digital super gain is set. Pay sufficient care when using this combination of functions. For moving subjects, use [DS.GAIN] at [12dB] or below.
