BIris/Gain value:

CLOSE # (F16 to F2.0) # OPEN # (0dB to 18dB)

≥Value closer to [18dB] brighten the image.

≥When the iris value is adjusted to brighter than [OPEN], it changes to the gain value.

≥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

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

≥You may see a band of light around an object that is shining very bright, or highly reflective.

≥During normal playback, image movement may not look smooth.

≥Color or brightness of the image may change, or you may see horizontal bars in the image when the object is recorded in extremely bright place or under fluorescent light, mercury light or sodium light, etc. In this case, record in auto mode or set the shutter speed to 1/60 in areas where the power supply frequency is 60 Hz, or 1/100 in areas of 50 Hz.
