EXPOSURE
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.
WDR (TRUE) WIDE DYNAMIC RANGE
True WDR in this camera is not supported by a double scan CCD. However, this special DSP can automatically
perform two scans depending on the lighting.

17
EXPOSURE
AGC (AUTO GAIN CONTROL) AGC enhances the picture brightness in low light conditions. A higher
OFF / LOW / MID / HIGH / HIGHEST level AGC setting makes the images brighter; however, it could increase
the amount of noise.
STARLIGHT Starlight mode automatically activates slow shutter function when the
OFF / x2 ~ x1024 image is too dark. x4 is the default. We do not recommend you to
to increase the setting, for it causes the image to lag.
Note: Starlight menu cannot be controlled if the E.SHUTTER settings is
above 1/60.
3D DNR (DIGITAL NOISE REDUCTION) 3D-DNR reduces the noise on the screen in low light conditions and
OFF / LOW / MID / HIGH / SMART allows for clearer images, even at night. The SMART option will adjust
the camera to prevent lagging when there is motion.

ATW Auto Tracking White Balance Control mode compensates for color
temperature changes between 2500K and 9500K.
MANUAL Users can control the white balance manually by changing RED
GAIN and BLUE GAIN (see below).
PUSHLOCK Pushlock is to fix the white balance based on the current lighting.
RED GAIN
0 ~ 255 Adjusts the amount of red in the image.

DAY & NIGHT
D&N MODE
AUTO Camera switches between day and night automatically depending
on light level. Camera will stay in color mode when there is enough
light. Camera will switch to B&W at night or other low light
environments.
If AUTO is selected, please define the following settings:
*BURST: If ON is selected, the camera provides a color burst signal
*in night mode. If OFF, no color burst signal is provided.
*COLOR->B&W: Adjusts the light level at which the camera switches from
*day (color) to night (B&W) mode. The higher the number, the lower the light level.
*B&W->COLOR: Adjusts the light level at which the camera switches from
*night (B&W) to day (color) mode. This number should be lower than the value
*of COLOR->B&W above.
*SMART IR: ON/OFF. If using IR LEDs, ON is recommended.
*READ TIME: Time interval delay before switching from day mode to night
*mode. It is adjustable from 3 seconds to 12 seconds.
*EX_IR INT.: AUTO/EXT. If using IR LEDs built into the camera, select AUTO.
*If using external IR LEDs separately, select EXT.
COLOR Camera always stays in day/color mode.
