IRIS : Iris/Gain value:
CLOSE !# (F16 to F2.0) !# OPEN !# (0dB to 18dB)
≥Value closer to [CLOSE] darken the image.
≥Value closer to [18dB] brighten the image.
≥When the iris value is adjusted to brighter than [OPEN], it changes to the gain value.

Manual shutter speed adjustment
≥When the shutter speed is set lower than 1/12 in the still picture recording mode, it is recommended using a tripod. Also, white balance cannot be set. The shutter speed will be set to 1/25 when the unit is turned on again.
≥You may see a band of light around the object that is shining very bright, or having very high reflection.
≥During normal playback, image movement may not look smooth.
≥If you record an extremely bright object or record under indoor lighting, colour and screen brightness may change or a horizontal line may appear on the screen. In this case, record in the intelligent auto mode or set the shutter speed to 1/100 in areas where the power supply frequency is 50 Hz, or 1/125 in areas of 60 Hz.
Manual iris/gain adjustment
≥Luminance level and histogram are displayed during the iris adjustment. (l 57, 58)
≥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.
