BSetting lens aperture (IRIS)
• 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.

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.

use the lever (vw) to adjust the gamma correction
level.
Available settings:
• 0.45: γ= 0.45
•1: γ= 1
•MODE1:Increases the contrast of the dark parts.
•MODE2:Further increases the contrast of the dark parts.
☞After completing setting, use the lever to move the cursor to
[MENU] and select “BACK” or “END”.
Setting the AGC level manually
• When the Day/Night function is set to “AUTO”, the
AGC function cannot be set to “OFF”.
• The “AGC” can be set to “OFF” only when [SENSE
UP] in the IRIS SETTING screen is set to “OFF”.

Switches automatically between color mode and black and white
mode depending on the luminance of the object being
monitored. This function lets you set the filming mode to color
mode during times of normal brightness like daytime or to black
and white mode during times of darkness like night.
• Enabling the Day/Night function (AUTO)
• Using the color mode only (COLOR)
• Using the black and white mode only (B/W)
bSetting the Day/Night function (AUTO)
This function automatically switches between the color mode and the
black and white mode according to the luminance of the target object.
The color mode is used for daytime; the black and white mode is
used for night.
1Use the joystick lever (xy) to select [DAY/NIGHT],
use the lever (vw) to select “AUTO y”, and press
the [ENTER] button.
The D/N SETTING-AUTO screen appears.
2Use the joystick lever (xy) to select [LEVEL], use
the lever (vw) to select a luminance level where the
viewing mode between the color mode and black
and white mode is switched, and press the [ENTER]
button.
Available settings:
•MID:The mode switches when the luminance of the
objects being monitored is between the “LOW” and
“HIGH” levels.
• HIGH: The mode switches when the luminance of the
objects being monitored is comparatively bright (the
black and white mode is used longer).
•
ADJ y : Sets the switching luminance level manually.
When you select “ADJy”, the LEVEL SETTING
screen appears allowing you to perform manual
settings for the switching luminance level.
•LOW:The mode switches when the luminance of the
objects being monitored is comparatively dark (the
color mode is used longer).
1COLOR →B/W
Sets the luminance level for switching from the color mode
to the black and white mode.
Available settings: 1 - 7 (The larger the value, the darker
the switching luminance level.)
2B/W →COLOR
Sets the luminance level for switching from the black and
white mode to the color mode.
Available settings: 1 - 7 (The larger the value, the
brighter the switching luminance
level.)
Memo: • In the “ADJ” setting, changing the setting for one of the
switching level settings (from color mode to black and
white mode or from black and white mode to color mode)
causes the other setting to change also.
• Increasing the luminance level difference avoids hunting
under IR (infrared) lighting.
ISetting the Day/Night function (DAY/NIGHT)
• A sound from the camera may be heard when the
color image or black and white image is switched.
Also, the image will be distorted as shown in the
figure below. This is normal and does not indicate a
problem.
• If the power is turned off in the black and white mode
and the power is turned on again, the color mode will
be used. The focused position may be differently
adjusted between the color mode and the black and
white mode. Adjust focusing so that the focused
position matches between the color mode and the
black and white mode.
• When using infrared lighting in black and white mode,
if there is a strong reflection on the subject, the black
and white mode may switch to color mode. Use only
enough infrared lighting so that the mode is not
switched.
