Cautions: 

1.

 

Under bright lighting conditions such as outdoors, use an autoiris lens because the ELC 

control range is not wide enough under these conditions.     

2. Under certain unique lighting conditions, the following phenomena may appear: 

$

 

Strong smear and/or blooming on high-light objects such as spotlights or windows. 

$

 

Noticeable flicker in the picture and/or color rendition variations. 

To avoid this, use an autoiris lens. 

3. When operating in ELC mode with a manual iris lens, the depth of field of the image may 

be less than that obtained by using an ALC lens. Depth of field varies inversely with the 

iris opening. Thus, using this camera in ELC mode with the manual iris lens fully opened 

may result in less depth of field and the distant objects in picture may be seen out of 

focus. 

4. Fixed iris or manual iris lenses may be used with the linear shutter (ELC mode) where the 

scene brightness varies over a limited range. 

5. Do not use the ELC mode when an autoiris lens is installed.  

 

5. AWB/ATW select switch 

This camera has an AUTO WHITE BALANCE (ATW) and MANUAL WHITE BALANCE 

(AWB) function. 

The camera is automatically adjusted to the best condition in the ATW mode. 

In the AWB mode, it can be adjusted for the best color manually by pushing the AWB 

HOLD button (

%

). Pole 5 is set to ON for ATW and OFF for AWB. 

6. AGC ON/OFF switch   

This switch is provided for the AGC circuit. 

The AGC circuit incorporated into the camera boosts the sensitivity automatically when the 

scene illumination is insufficient. 

 

7. HI-GAIN ON/OFF switch     

The automatic MORE-GAIN function automatically adjusts picture gain in accordance with 

the brightness of the subject. This function enables when Pole 6 is set to ON.
