You can set “Aperture”, “Shutter Speed”, and “Gain”.

To apply the setting, click “Apply”.

Aperture

The further to the left you move the slide bar, the more closed the aperture and the darker the image. Conversely, the further to the right you move the slide bar, the more open the aperture and the brighter the image.

Shutter Speed

Fixes shutter speed. Higher shutter speed (e.g., 1/8000) produces darker images. Conversely, slower shutter speed (e.g., 1/1, 1/2) produces brighter images. For the NTSC model, if you specify the shutter speed within the range from 1/1 to 1/4, the auto focus and One-shot AF for camera control (→ P.3-14) will be invalidated. For the PAL model, if you specify the shutter speed within the range from 1/1 to 1/3, Auto, Auto (for domes), and One-Shot AF for camera control will be invalidated.

Gain

The further to the left you move the slide bar, the lower the gain (sensitivity for brightness) and the darker the image. Conversely, the further to the right you move the slide bar, the higher the gain and the brighter the image.

When setting “Day & Night Mode” to “Auto”, use “Auto Exposure” (→ P.1-11).

4Night Mode

Set up Night Mode with night vision.

Tip

If Day & Night is set to Auto on Camera Settings Section of Video and Camera page, Night Mode setting is not available here (→ P.1-10).
