The control panel

Click the Ctrl panel button to display the control panel, where the following settings are available:

•Auto focus - automatically adjusts the image focus.

•Backlight comp - enabling backlight compensation makes the subject clearer if the image background is too bright, or if the subject is too dark.

•IR cut filter - when set to off, the camera will be able to “see” infrared light, e.g. at night, thus making the image clearer. The image is shown in black & white when the IR cut filter is off.

•Brightness - the image brightness can be adjusted using the +/- buttons, where a higher value produces a brighter image. Click the Reset button to revert to the values saved under Video & Image > Advanced > Camera.

•Shortcuts - these buttons can be configured to provide direct access to vari- ous built-in auxiliary commands provided by the PTZ driver. See Advanced - Ctrl Panel on page 22.
