gain controls have become non-responsive...why? at DVinfo.net

I am performing some indoor recording. For some reason, my gain H,M,L control has become nonresponsive. Any idea what I did to make it this way? Have I activated an auto feature that will not let the gain selector be used?
Thanks,
Jarrett Towe

Either you are in full auto mode or one of the progressive modes (30p or 24p) where gain cannot be used.

how do i disengage or do a complete reset? This is the first time i had this happen.

You're probably in auto mode. Hit the auto button to go back to manual, or go to the AUTO menu and turn off AGC. If you see AGC on your screen it's in auto gain control mode which overrides the manual gain switch.
