If you selected ON in step 3 of this procedure, best results can be obtained by setting a contrast level that is somewhat high. A contrast level that is too high, however, may increase the tendency of afterimages and noise.

Note:

If operation of the system controller's IRIS (OPEN, CLOSE) button during operation is done after the menu is closed, the LEVEL on the CAMERA menu is reflected and stored for these settings. However, if the camera is in a preset position, it is reflected as a parameter of the preset position. To return to the initial factory default level, execute the system controller's iris reset.
