To adjust the zoom and the focus, the gimbal needs to be removed temporarily
from its base.
1) Remove the ball gimbal from its socket, and hold the base firmly with one hand.
2) Gently squeeze Point A and B and pull away from the base until the gimbal is
removed from the base.
3) Replace the Gimbal cover by aligning the cover to the base and pressing down
until it snaps back onto the base.

5 SHUTTER/AGC menu
This menu offers how to control/select SHUTTER, AUTO IRIS and AGC to get the best image for the
high luminance and the low luminance according to the scene.
For example, to reduce the wash out and extend the dynamic range for the highlight scene, it is
improved by SHUTTER+AUTO IRIS in the outdoor daylight. This mode may show color rolling or the
video level hunting problem in certain lighting condition such as fluorescent lights.
Flickerless mode reduces the flickers by NTSC camera under 50Hz light or PAL camera under
60Hz light. MAIN> SHUTTER/AGC> MANUAL> SHUTTER must be set to 1/100 (NTSC), 1/120 (PAL)
and MAIN> SHUTTER/AGC> AUTO> MODE to AUTO IRIS. Normal shutter speed with an auto iris
lens should be set to 1/60 (NTSC) and 1/50 (PAL) for the best sensitivity.

NOTICE : The setting AUTO IRIS at SHUTTER/AGC>AUTO SETUP>HIGH LUMINANCE MODE will be
changed to SHUT+AUTO IRIS if MAIN menu-1>LENS is changed to MANUAL.
As a result, the lens iris can NOT be fully opened when MAIN menu-1>LENS>AUTO IRIS>
MODE is OPEN.
This can be recovered by setting SHUTTER/AGC>AUTO SETUP>HIGH LUMINANCE MODE
to AUTO IRIS.
AUTO SETUP Default Descriptions
MODE AUTO
IRIS
Selects the shutter mode from AUTO IRIS or SHUT+AUTO IRIS when
MAIN>LENS>AUTO but it is fixed to SHUT if MAIN>LENS>MANUAL.
AUTO IRIS - Light level is controlled by an auto iris lens only.
For proper auto iris operation, the auto iris operation mode in MAIN>
LENS>AUTO>MODE must be set to AUTO.
The shutter speed is fixed to the setting at MAIN>SHUTTER/AGC>
MANUAL> SHUTTER in this mode.
Set SHUTTER to 1/60 (NTSC) or 1/50 (PAL) for the best sensitivity
unless it is in Flickerless mode.
To set Flickerless mode: MAIN>SHUTTER/AGC>MANUAL>SHUTTER
must be set to 1/100 (NTSC), 1/120 (PAL) and MAIN>SHUTTER/AGC>
AUTO>MODE to AUTO IRIS.
SHUT+AUTO IRIS- Light level is controlled by the combination of an
auto iris lens and shutter control to improve the highlight from wash-
out and extend the dynamic range. Shutter speed can vary between
1/60(1/50)~1/10,000sec.
This mode enhances the overall video quality of daylight but may show
a smeared image in bright spotlights. However, color rolling or video
level hunting may occur under a certain lighting condition such as
fluorescent lights.
BRIGHT-
NESS
032 Adjusts the brightness of the image by an auto iris lens or a shutter
speed control + an auto iris lens.
MODE AGC Sets AGC to compensate the video level when the scene is dim.
BRIGHT-
NESS x0.50
Sets the brightness level which starts AGC from x0.25, x0.50, x0.75 and
x1.0 of full video level.
If set to x0.50, the camera will start AGC when the video level goes
down to below the 50% level.

IMPORTANT ACTIVITY!!!
DAY->NIGHT and NIGHT->DAY operations must be examined and verified at the final
installation.
Block the lens for a few seconds for NIGHT mode, then release and let it return to DAY mode.
If camera stays at NIGHT mode for more than 10sec, slightly increase ‘N→D THRES’ and repeat the fore-
mentioned steps.
If the scene is too dim or the lens iris was adjusted too low (near close), it may not return to DAY.
DAY/NIGHT Default Descriptions
BURST OFF
BURST mode contains color burst signal when the camera switches to B/W.
ON mode maintains the same color signal in B/W so that the video signal
provides better compatibility with certain color equipment.
OFF mode removes the color burst signal B/W video and increase the total TV
lines.
DELAY
CNT 005
DELAY CNT is the time in seconds before Day↔Night switches. DELAY can
avoid the unwanted/frivolous switching of short term lights such as light from
a passing car.
DAY→NIGHT 005
DAY→NIGHT mode sets a threshold level to determine when switch from
DAY to NIGHT. Lower (Higher) value makes the camera switched from Day to
Night at lower (higher) illumination.
If the camera stays in Color at night time, increase DAY→NIGHT threshold
value until it just switches to Night.
CAUTION If the value between DAY→NIGHT and NIGHT→DAY is
minimal, then camera may switch between DAY and NIGHT mode
repeatedly.
NIGHT→
DAY. 3
NIGHT→DAY mode sets a threshold level to determine when to switch from
NIGHT to DAY. Lower (Higher) value makes the camera switched from Night
to Day at lower (higher) illumination.
If the camera stays in B/W mode during day time, decrease NIGHT→DAY
threshold value until it switches to Day.
CAUTION If the value between DAY→NIGHT and NIGHT→DAY is
minimal, then camera may switch between DAY and NIGHT mode
repeatedly.

OSD Menu Features/Setup
10 PICT ADJUST menu
To enter PICT ADJUST menu, press button at MAIN menu-1>PICT ADJUST.
11 WHITE BAL menu
White balance can be set to ATW, PUSH, USER1, USER2, ANTI CR, MANUAL or PUSH LOCK.
ATW (Auto Tracking White balance) and PUSH (Full pull-in) are continuously monitoring/analyzing the
color temperature of the incoming light and correcting the white balance.
ATW limits the color temperature range at about 2,500˚K~8,500˚K to reduce the excessive
compensation for the big object which has a single color.
PUSH has no limits between about 1,800˚K~10,500˚K but it may over-compensate the white balance for
the big object which has a single color.
In cases where it goes under 2,500˚K such as halogen light, ATW may stop. If so, PUSH mode is
recommended.
USER1 and USER2 are a fixed white balance which is user-programmable by R-GAIN and B-GAIN and
useful only for the steady light.
ANTI CR (Anti Color Rolling) can reduce color rolling under the fluorescent light when the camera
operates in shutter control without an auto iris lens. (NTSC version only)
PICT ADJUST Default Descriptions
MIRROR OFF Picture will be flipped horizontally if it turns ON.
BRIGHTNESS 000
Increases or decreases the brightness of the picture.
This is different from that of DC iris lens because it simply increases or
decreases the digital gain of the video.
Do not increase this too much or the dynamic range for the highlight area
will decrease.
CONTRAST 120 Increases or decreases the contrast of the picture.
SHARPNESS 128
Increases or decreases the sharpness of the picture.
Too much sharpness can make the image too harsh and show more noise
as well as line flicker at the edge of object in the picture.
HUE 128 Adjusts hue for NTSC version only.
GAIN 128 Increases or decreases the color gain of the picture.

OSD Menu Features/Setup
MANUAL white balance is a kind of fixed white balance which is user-programmable by B-GAIN.
(R-GAIN will be automatically adjusted in accordance with B-GAIN) and useful only for the steady light.
PUSH LOCK is a fixed white balance where the white balance is compensated only while the button
is pressed at MAIN>WHITE BAL>PUSH LOCK and finishes the white balance when button is
released.
To enter ATW (MANUAL) menu, press button at MAIN menu-1>WHITE BAL>ATW(MANUAL).
MANUAL WB Default Descriptions
LEVEL 064 Manual White Balance Adjustment value.
ATW Default Descriptions
SPEED 250 Sets the AWB compensating speed. Lower value makes AWB faster.
CAUTION Too fast an AWB may force color oscillation.
DELAY CNT 001 Adjusts the AWB compensation period to next update of AWB.
The smaller value will update AWB more frequently (faster).
ATW FRAME X2.00
Determines the ATW range with respect to the fundamental range.
A higher value than x1.00 extends the ATW range at lower and higher color
temperature.
ENVIRON-
MENT INDOOR
Selects INDOOR or OUTDOOR.
Their ATW is optimized for the limited application and cannot cover.
INDOOR - Optimized for Indoor installation and compensates ATW for low
color temperature such as incandescent lights.
OUTDOOR - Optimized for outdoor sunlit applications and compensates
ATW for high color temperature such as daylight.

OSD Menu Features/Setup
12 ATR (Adaptive Tone Reproduction) menu
The ATR feature improves the dynamic range and the visibility of the image by providing the optimal
gradation compensation of the image in one field. This is achieved by two ways of image processing,
luminance compression and contrast enhancement, so that the tone can be enhanced at highlighted and
dark areas.
To enter ATR menu, press button at MAIN menu-1>ATR.
ATR Default Descriptions
LUMINANCE MID
Compresses the highlighted area and enhances the dark area so that the
entire image can converge toward the medium level.
LOW will compensate minimally and HIGH will average out the image.
With setting HIGH, the image may look less contrastive and noise may
increase in the dark area.
CONTRAST MID
Adjusts the strength of the image contrast.
If set to too high, the dark area may lose detail and the high luminance
area may saturate.
