When set to
Exposure
the camera will maintain the exposure setting as the priority, and will
override the set image rate to achieve the best image possible.
l
Maximum Iris (HD Pro cameras only):
You can limit the maximum aperture the lens will use by
setting a maximum aperture value. This value is in exposure values (EV) relative to the widest
possible aperture of the lens. This setting will only take effect when the
Iris
setting is set to
Automatic
.
If the image is too bright when the
Iris
setting is set to
Open
, you can improve it by setting a
maximum aperture value to limit the amount of light entering the camera. The aperture value also
affects how much of the scene is in focus. 0 sets the aperture to the widest possible aperture. This
allows the most light into the camera, but places less of the scene in focus. Negative values result
in a smaller maximum aperture, placing more of the scene in focus. The camera will automatically
correct for the decreased light by using a higher gain or a longer exposure time.
l
Preferred Iris (HD Pro cameras only):
You can set a preferred aperture for the lens. This is the ideal
aperture value for the scene and the camera attempts to keep the lens at this setting. This value is
in EV relative to the widest possible aperture of the lens. This setting will only take effect when the
Iris
setting is set to
Automatic
.
Set this value to give a well exposed and well focused image in the most frequent lighting
conditions. 0 sets the aperture to the widest possible aperture. This allows the most light into the
camera, but places less of the scene in focus. Negative values result in a smaller preferred
aperture, placing more of the scene in focus. The camera will automatically correct for the
decreased light by using a higher gain or a longer exposure time.
l
Saturation:
You can adjust the video’s color saturation by entering a percentage number. 0 creates
a black and white image, while 100 creates intense color images.
l
Sharpness:
You can adjust the video’s sharpness by entering a percentage number. 0 applies the
least amount of sharpening, while 100 applies the most sharpening to make the edges of objects
more visible.
l
Brightness:
You can adjust the video’s brightness by entering a percentage number. 0 creates a
dark image, while 100 creates a light-filled image.
l
Contrast:
You can adjust the video’s contrast by entering a percentage number. 0 applies the least
amount of contrast, while 100 applies the most contrast.
l
White Balance:
You can control the white balance settings to adjust for differences in light.
You can allow the camera to control the white balance by selecting
Automatic
, or select
Custom
and manually set the Red and Blue settings.
l
WDR:
You can enable automatic color adjustments through Wide Dynamic Range (WDR). This
allows the camera to adjust the video image to accommodate scenes where bright light and dark
shadow are clearly visible.
l
IR Enabled:
You can manually enable or disable the IR illuminators that are installed on the camera.
l
Enable Adaptive IR Compensation:
You can enable automatic infrared adjustments through
Adaptive IR Compensation. This allows the camera to automatically adjust the video image
for saturation caused by IR illumination.
