Depending on the brightness of the surrounding, the camcorder will automatically raise the gain or ISO speed to try to get a brighter picture. Because doing so can lead to video noise, you can set a maximum limit for how high levels are raised. These limits are referred to as the automatic gain control (AGC) limit and auto ISO limit. Shooting with a smaller limit is useful as it results in a darker picture but less noise. This function is available when the shooting mode is set to [ ![](/library/attachments/CanonUSA/TroubleshootingContents/Images/Global/G0209563.gif) ], [ ![](/library/attachments/CanonUSA/TroubleshootingContents/Images/Global/G0209565.gif) ], or [ ![](/library/attachments/CanonUSA/TroubleshootingContents/Images/Global/G0209566.gif) ].
