LENS
Manual Manual mode supports the fixed board lens or the
manual iris lens.
DC DC mode supports the auto-iris varifocal lens.
NOTE: Both MANUAL and DC mode have FOCUS TARGET. You can adjust the focus by finding the highest number on the FOCUS TARGET. See page 16 for focus information.
ELC Levels and DC Levels are adjustable. The higher the number, the brighter the image.
E. Shutter sets the shutter speed levels from 1/60 to 1/100000.
*For LENS-MANUAL Mode, the default E.SHUTTER is AUTO.
*For LENS-DC Mode, the default E.SHUTTER is 1/60. Select DC-AUTO for
*outdoor use.
Select 1/100FLC to run camera in flickerless mode.
Note: The STARLIGHT option cannot be controlled if the E.SHUTTER setting is above 1/60.
EXPOSURE
BACKLIGHT OFF BLC BACK LIGHT COMPENSATION
MANUAL User can manually adjust the BLC level in five areas of the scene (TOP, BOTTOM,
CENTER, LEFT, RIGHT). Increase the BLC levels to make the image brighter.
SMART This is recommended. Camera will automatically detect and adjust the BLC zone.
BLC levels to choose from include: LOWEST, LOW, MID, HIGH.
HME HIGHLIGHT MASKING EXPOSURE
HME masks highlights to allow objects to appear clearly on the screen. If ON is selected, HME levels are adjustable. The lower the number, the darker the masking areas.
DRC DYNAMIC RANGE COMPRESSOR With the advanced light compensation technology DRC, dark spots in images particularly
become more visible without overexposing the bright spots to create one perfect image. The higher the number, the better the performance of DRC.
15
EXPOSURE
AGC AUTO GAIN CONTROL
OFF / LOW / MID / HIGH / HIGHEST AGC enhances the picture brightness in low light conditions.
A higher level AGC setting makes the images brighter; however, it could increase the amount of noise.
STARLIGHT
OFF / x2 ~ x1024 Starlight mode automatically activates slow shutter function
when the image is too dark. x4 is the default. We do not recommend you to increase the setting, for it causes the image to lag.
Note: Starlight menu cannot be controlled if the E.SHUTTER setting is above 1/60.
3D DNR 3D DIGITAL NOISE REDUCTION
OFF / LOW / MID / HIGH / SMART 3D-DNR reduces the noise on the screen in low light conditions and allows for clearer images, even at night. The SMART option
will adjust the camera to prevent lagging when there is motion.
