6.Move the joystick up or down to position the cursor beside one of the choices. Press the Iris Open button.
MODE – The cursor moves to one of two choices: Auto or Off. In the Auto mode, the iris is automatically adjusted to produce a constant video output as determined by the Level setting below. In the Off mode, auto iris is disabled, and control is always manual. Move the joystick up or down to toggle between Auto and Off. Press the Iris Open button to select the choice, or press the Iris Close button if you do not want to change the setting.
LEVEL – The cursor moves to a numeric value, which the Spectra Lite™ dome uses to try to maintain a certain light level. Changing the value of the Level setting will change the video level to which the auto iris adjusts. This setting should be adjusted if the video level in the auto iris mode is too bright or too dark. Move the joystick up or down to a value.
If auto iris is in the auto mode, it remains that way until you manually open or close the iris. The dome will return to auto iris when it is panned or tilted more than 15 degrees.
If there is not enough light for a good picture when the iris is wide open, you can increase the gain of the camera to improve the picture. To do this:
1.Hold down the Iris Open button until the iris is wide open.
2.Release the button.
3.Within one second, hold down the button again. This will start increasing the camera gain. Hold down the button until you get a desirable picture or reach the maximum gain.

Auto | 1/125 | 1/500 |
