Manual shutter speed adjustment

≥Avoid recording under fluorescent light, mercury light or sodium light because the color and brightness of the playback image may change.

≥If you increase the shutter speed manually, the sensitivity lowers and accordingly the gain value increases

automatically, which may increase the noises on the screen. ≥You may see vertical lines of light in the playback image of a brightly shining subject or highly reflective subject, but this is

not a malfunction.

≥During normal playback, image movement may not look smooth.

≥When recording in the extremely bright place, the color of the screen may change or flicker. If this happens adjust the shutter speed manually to 1/60 or 1/100.

Manual iris/gain adjustment

≥If the value does not become “OPEN”, you cannot adjust the gain value.

≥If the gain value is increased, the noise on the screen increases.

≥Depending on the zoom magnification, there are iris values that are not displayed.

ªShutter speed range

1/60 to 1/8000 seconds: Tape Recording Mode The shutter speed closer to 1/8000 is faster.

ªIris/gain value range

CLOSE (Closed), F16, ..., F2.0, OPEN (Opened) 0dB, ..., 18dB

Value closer to [CLOSE] darken the image. Value closer to [18dB] brighten the image. Values with dB are gain values.
