Day/Night

1 Mode

Select the switching mode from “Manual” and “Auto”. When specifying “Auto”, you can set
“Switching Brightness” and “Response” according to the environment where the camera is
installed or the switching condition.

* If you are using an infrared lamp, you cannot use “Auto”.

2 Switching Brightness

Select the brightness level to switch day mode and night mode from “Darker”, “Slightly Darker”,
“Standard”, “Slightly Brighter” and “Brighter”. When you prefer to shoot color video as much
as possible, select “Darker”. When you prefer to reduce noise even in black and white video,
select “Brighter”.

3 Response (sec.)

Select the time, at which day mode and night mode switches, from “5”, “10”, “20”, “30” and
“60”. The day and night mode are switched when the brightness set in the above 2, maintains
for a set period of time. It is recommended to specify “30” or “60” for situations, where the
brightness frequently changes, for example, light sources pass in front of the camera. Or,
specify “5” or “10” for situations, where there are few changes in brightness.

2 Image Stabilizer

Select whether or not to activate Image Stabilizer from “Disable”, “On1” and “On2”. Image
Stabilizer effectively works to compensate for image blur caused by camera shake. If “On1” is
not strong enough to correct the image blur, try “On2”. While Image Stabilizer is being activated
with “On1” or “On2”, the viewing angle may be narrower and the image quality may be degraded,
comparing with when Image stabilizer is disabled. This is because of the stabilization process,
not camera failure.

Note

● It is recommended to set the image capture size to “320 x 240” or smaller, while

specifying “On2”.

● IS does not work to correct vibration of a subject itself.
● Image Stabilizer cannot correct image blur caused by instantaneous shake or large

vibration that exceeds a certain level.

● Refer to P.3-20, for note on viewer use while Image Stabilizer is being activated.
