The gain is automatically adjusted up to the selected limit.
Notes
The upper limit that can be selected varies depending on the shooting mode.
Movie: 24 dB
Photo: 18 dB
[Smth Slw REC]: 12 dB
At a higher gain, the brightness becomes more appropriate in dim scenes, but the noise increases.
At a lower gain, the noise decreases, but the shutter speed becomes slower to compensate for the
lack of brightness, causing camera-shake or subject blur.
