Adjusting for the Lighting in the Room
C
AMERA PAGE
The camera's default settings include the Auto CCU scene, Auto Iris, and Auto White balance, to allow the
camera to do most of the lighting adjustments on its own. Our technical experts (specifically Scott) have
pre-loaded some additional adjustments for common lighting scenarios as factory-defined CCU scenes –
Incandescent Hi, Incandescent Lo, Fluorescent Hi, Fluorescent Lo, and Outdoor.
If the Auto settings don't yield the results you want, pick the CCU scene button with the label that best
describes the lighting in the room. Then fine-tune the lighting and color adjustments as needed using the
Color Settings:
n
Auto Iris manages light level adjustments automatically. Clear this checkbox to adjust iris and gain
manually.
n
Auto White Balance manages color automatically. Clear this checkbox to adjust red gain and blue gain
manually.
n
If there is bright light behind the main subject of the shot, check the box for Back Light Compensation.
This setting is only available if you are using Auto Iris.
n
To adjust the intensity of the color, use the Chroma slider.
n
To adjust the contrast between light and dark areas, use the Gamma slider.
n
To adjust the image sharpness, use the Detail slider.
Note
If the video looks grainy or “noisy,” try a lower Detail setting. As in conversation, too much detail is bad.
