BACKLIGHT COMPENSATION

There are two backlight compensation modes: on and off.

Backlight compensation allows the dome to compensate for bright light behind the object you want to view. With backlight compensation On, the Spectra II™ dome will use only the center 10 percent of the picture for adjusting the iris (refer to Figure 17). If there is a bright light source outside of this area, it will wash out to white. The camera will adjust the iris so that the object in the sensitive area is properly exposed.

To change the backlight compensation mode:

1.Program Preset 95 (28 if in 32-preset mode; refer to the Preset Functions section) to access the main menu (refer to the Main Menu Access section). The main menu will appear.

2.If the cursor (>) is not beside Camera, move the joystick up or down to position the cursor beside Camera.
