zoom operations as well as the speed.

Operation will continue as long as you are holding

down the button and will stop when you release it.

Clicking the center button will make the camera face

straight forwards.

Changing the [Pan/Tilt] speed or [Zoom] speed will not change

Setting the Smart Shade Control

The smart shade control function differs from backlight

compensation in that only dark areas are brightened while

bright areas are kept intact.

1

[Smart Shade Control]
Set to [OFF] or [ON].

2

Adjusting the Smart Shade Control
When smart shade control is [On], set one of the 7

levels from [1] (weak) to [7] (strong).

Example: If the background is bright and the subject is

hard to see, this function brightens dark areas to make

the subject clearer.

In comparison to backlight compensation, smart shade

control can reduce blown-out of bright areas.

Note

• When [On] is selected for smart shade control, the image file

size increases.

• When [On] is selected for smart shade control, screen noise

may increase. If noise is noticeable, lower the control level.
