		Configuration
Image colour
Preset image	Four types of specific application conditions such as Indoor, outdoor,
	tunnel and casino can be selected for a quick and easy setup.
EV Adjustment	19 steps of offset level from -9 to +9 are available to adjust the internal
	reference brightness level. The higher the level the brighter the
	images, and the lower the level the darker the images.
Auto Gain Control	The circuit gain is adjusted automatically between Min. and the
	selected value, "Low," "Mid" and "High” where the sensitivity
	characteristic increases in the order of "Low," "Mid" and "High”. Noise
	at dark will be more noticeable when Auto Gain Control is near "High".
	NOTE:
	If sensitivity is still too low after setting Auto Gain control, set the high
	limit value of the slow shutter, to further increase sensitivity.
Shutter Speed	Default is: 1/25 s. The shutter speed is set at automatic, 1/25 s, 1/50 s,
	1/120 s, 1/250 s, 1/1000 s and 1/10000 s. The network camera will
	adjust the aperture according to the amount of ambient light.
Slow Speed Shutter	The Slow shutter can be turned “ON” if the sensitivity is still not so
	good under “High” gain condition at dark. The optimum image level can
	be maintained by appropriate gain and shutter combination which are
	determined automatically inside camera system.
	As slow shutter activates, the exposure time becomes longer and
	frame rate becomes smaller. Blurred images sometimes are prominent
	with moving objects.
Back Light Compensation	Set an area for backlight compensation. If backlight compensation is
	activated, the camera performs the exposure control only within the
	specified area.
	Backlight compensation is a function that achieves the brightness of a
	selected area to an optimum image level. This function is necessary
	when an auto iris lens tends to close due to an intense light coming
	from the back of the object in the area to be viewed so that areas
	become dark and visibility deteriorates. In this case, set the area so
	that the portion to be viewed is within the selected area. The area size
	is roughly as shown in Fig. 2 below.
Sharpness	Set sharpness.
	“Sharp”:	sharpness is high.
	“Soft”:	sharpness is low.
Gamma	“1”: May be selected for some specific area, such as FA application for
	obtaining true video data.
	“0.45”: This is default, suitable for CCTV application
White Balance	Set the white balance values to meet the environment condition for
	best colour rendition.
	z “AWB”: the colour of the camera is automatically adjusted according
	to external lighting condition.
	z “Manual”: Adjustable by user manually, this is useful for some
	specific condition which AWB may be unaffordable to perform
	correctly.
	z “Indoor”: Default for 3200K condition
	z “Outdoor”: Default for 5100K condition
Iris Adjustment	19 steps of offset level from -9 to +9 are available to adjust the image
	level for a DC auto iris lens. The higher the level the brighter the
	images, and the lower the level the darker the images.
