Under 'HIGH LUMINANCE', you can choose 'AUTO IRIS' mode (default setting) to use
a fixed shutter while making the camera adjust iris level according to the brightness
of the scene. Choose 'SHUT+AUTO IRIS' mode to have the camera adjust iris level
according to the brightness, and control the exposure with DC iris. If you have
previously selected 'MANUAL' for the 'LENS' item, the mode will be forced as 'SHUT'.
The 'BRIGHTNESS' item let you adjust the aperture to tailor the brightness to your
preference.
Under 'LOW LUMINANCE', you can choose 'AGC' mode (default setting) to have the
camera automatically increase the gain when in low light conditions to produce a
brighter image. The 'BRIGHTNESS' item allows you to further fine-tune the brightness.
Manual Shutter / AGC
Opt for manual shutter / AGC option when you have selected 'MANUAL' for the 'LENS'
item, which then provides a submenu that contains mode, shutter and AGC setting.
'SHUTTER' item lets you specify the shutter time (between 1/50 sec and 1/10000 sec).
Adjust 'AGC' level according to your lighting conditions.
White Balance
You can fine-tune the color of the image here. 'ATW' (Auto White Balance) is the default
setting. Besides 'ATW', there are also 'PUSH', 'USER1', 'USER2', 'ANTI CR', 'MANUAL', and
'PUSH LOCK'.
