When setting both the shutter speed and the iris/gain value, set the shutter speed and then set the iris/gain value.

Manual shutter speed adjustment

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

≥ If you increase the shutter speed manually, the noise on the screen may increase.

≥ 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 an extremely bright place, the screen may change colour or flicker. If so adjust the shutter speed manually to [1/50] or [1/100].

Manual iris/gain adjustment

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.
