AGO functions "OFF", "ON" or "UP" can be selected on the screen menu. Generally, the
camera is used with the AGO set to OFF, but when increased camera sensitivity is re­
quired, it is set to ON. When more sensitivity is required, "UP" is selected. With the AGO
ON, the camera sensitivity approximately doubles, and with the UP selected the sensitiv­
ity approximately doubles again, but noise will also Increase. We recommend you in­
crease intensity of the lighting to obtain good pictures.
The AGO measurement area is the same as that used for "AREA". (Refer to item 7.5)
