• Electronic sensitivity boosting (SENSE UP) automatically lengthens the CCD exposure time in dark situations. Accordingly, moving target objects may cause conspicuous afterimages, blurs and white spots.

• When electronic sensitivity boosting (SENSE UP) is enabled, the electronic shutter function will not work.

• When the Day/Night function is set to “AUTO”, electronic sensitivity boosting (SENSE UP) works only while black and white image is displayed.

Use the joystick lever (xy) to select [LEVEL] and

Notes on setting electronic iris (EI):

• If the iris views an unusually bright image, it can cause a smear that cannot be corrected by adjusting the light entering through the lens. In this case, arrange the physical angle of lighting in a way that will prevent on-screen smearing.

• If there is a fluorescent lighting in the camera location, flickering of the target object may occur. Changing fluorescent lighting to incandescent lighting will prevent the flickering.

• When the electronic iris (EI) is activated, the electronic shutter (SHUTTER) setting cannot be made.

Even when light sources of the target object change, automatic adjustment assures capture of most suitable colors.

Use the joystick lever (xy) to select [WHITE BALANCE] and use the lever (vw) to select “ATW y”.

Auto trace white balance settings are completed when “ATW y” is selected. When an extremely bright light source is in the target object, use the mask pattern so that the light source will not be detected.

Placing mask patterns

To place a mask pattern over specific light sources in the target object, do the following.

Mask patterns can be placed only when registering a view setting file in the CAMERA VIEW screen.

While “ATW y” is selected by using the joystick

lever (vw), press the [ENTER] button.

The ATW SETTING screen appears.

Use the joystick lever (xy or vw) to move a mask

pattern to the light source area to be masked, and press the [ENTER] button.

This sets the mask pattern.

Fine-tuning white balance setting (GO TO MWB)

If you want to fine-tune white balance setting after one-push automatic white balance adjustment completes, you can adjust white balance manually. To adjust white balance manually, use the joystick lever (xy) to select [GO TO MWB] – “SET y”, and press the [ENTER] button.

The MWB SETTING screen appears.

For details on adjusting white balance manually, refer to the “Manual white balance (MWB)” section in the right column on this page.

You also can access the MWB SETTING screen directly by selecting “MWB y” in the [WHITE BALANCE] menu item. Whether you access the MWB SETTING screen directly or through the AWC SETTING screen, only one set of options and values in the MWB SETTING screen is stored as the manual white balance setting.
