[Average]

The entire screen is metered by averaging.

A stable exposure can be achieved even in a

capture environment where there are notable

brightness differences within the screen.

Use this mode to stabilize the exposure in locations

where vehicles or people are moving.

[Spot]

The center of the screen is metered.

An appropriate exposure can be achieved for the

subject at the center of the screen regardless of the

brightness/darkness on the periphery of the screen.

Use this mode if you want to adjust the exposure to

the center of the screen because the subject is

receiving a spotlight or backlight, etc.

(4) [Focus Mode]

Set the focus mode when camera starts.

[Auto]

Automatically brings the subject into focus. Normally

[Auto] is selected.

[Fixed at infinity]

The focus can be fixed to near infinity.

(5) [Smart Shade Control]

Set the smart shade control strength when the camera

starts.

[Disable]

The smart shade control function is not used.

[Manual]

Set the smart shade control strength. Select a

strength from [1 (Mild)] to [7 (Strong)] in [Smart

Shade Control Level].

[Auto]

Combines the smart shade control function and the

exposure compensation function to automatically

adjust the video so that there are no blown out

highlights or blocked up shadows. Accordingly,

when [Auto] is selected, [Smart Shade Control

Level] and [Exposure Compensation] are not

displayed.

(6) [White Balance]

Select the white balance according to the light source

to achieve natural color in the video.

[Auto]

lamps or incandescent bulbs.

(7) [Noise Reduction]

Select a level from [Mild], [Standard], or [Strong] for

the noise reduction setting.

Principally, this setting is more effective in low-light

conditions. When set to [Strong], the noise reduction

effect is increased, but the afterimage of moving

subjects becomes easier to see. When set to [Mild],

the noise reduction effect is decreased and resolution

is increased, but the video file size becomes larger.

(8) [Sharpness]

Select a level from [1 (Mild)] to [7 (Strong)] for the

sharpness setting.

When set to [Strong] the video becomes sharper, and

when set to [Mild] the video becomes softer. Also,

when set to [Strong] the video file size becomes

larger.

(9) [Color Saturation]

Select a level from [1 (Light)] to [7 (Dark)] for the color

saturation setting.

(10)[Day/Night]

Set Day/Night mode to [Manual] or [Auto] when the

camera starts.

You can also switch between [Day Mode] and [Night

Mode] using the Day/Night mode function of the

Admin Viewer (p. 137).

Important

• The initial camera settings (1) to (10) define the defaults that

apply when the camera is started. Setting changes will be

reflected only after the camera is reconnected or rebooted.

Specify the settings used in the actual operating environment
from the Admin Viewer (p. 133).

• If the subject is a traffic signal or electronic scoreboard, etc.,

the captured video may flicker.

In this case, try changing the [AE Mode] setting to [Auto
(Shutter-priority AE)] and selecting a shutter speed lower

than 1/100 to see if the problem improves.
