Gain
Depending on the available light level it may be necessary to adjust the video gain settings
of the camera.
Turn the upper ring on the stick to vary Gain in steps of 0.1 dB.
On the camera, Gain is selected via the GAIN switch on the left side panel of the camera:
• When the switch (plus or minus) is pressed initially, the current Gain value is displayed
in the viewfinder.
• Holding the plus or minus position for a short moment selects one of the five preset
Gain settings: -, 0, +, ++ and +++.
The actual value of the Gain in dB is assigned to these presets in the
Production Setup > Levels > Gain > Gain Presets menu.

When Gain is set to negative values, or values higher than 3 dB, the Gain indicator in the
viewfinder lights (only for ocular viewfinder).
The Gain switch can also be used to vary the Gain continuously between its minimum and
maximum value.
• Hold the plus or minus position continuously until you see the value in the viewfinder
change in steps of 0.1 dB.
• Release the switch when you reached the value you want. This exits the value selection
mode.
• Using the switch momentarily again sets the Gain to the nearest preset value.
