Shutter Speed

PEAK - The cursor moves to a numeric value. Increasing this value will cause the auto iris circuit to react more to highlights or “peaks” in the picture. Decreasing this value will cause it to use the average video level to adjust the iris. Move the joystick up or down to a value.

Press the Iris Open button to select the value, or press the Iris Close button if you do not want to change the setting.

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.The AGC mode (AGC Mode section) must be in either the Auto or Off mode. The following steps will not work if the AGC mode is On.

2.Hold down the Iris Open button until the iris is wide open.

3.Release the button.

4.Within one second, hold down the button again. This will start increasing the camera gain. Hold down the button until a desirable picture is obtained or the maximum gain is reached.

There are nine electronic shutter speed settings:

Auto 1/100 1/120 1/500 1/1000 1/2000 1/4000 1/10,000 1/30,000

In the Auto setting the camera controls the shutter speed automatically.

Increasing the shutter speed lowers the light sensitivity, but rapidly moving objects will be less blurred as the speed is increased.

To change the electronic shutter speed settings:

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.

3.Press the Iris Open button to enter the Camera submenu.

4.Move the joystick up or down to position the cursor beside Next.

5.Press the Iris Open button to go to the next camera submenu.

10.SELECT - Press the Iris Open button on your keyboard to select your choice. CANCEL - Press the Iris Close button if you do not want to change the setting.
