Brightness submenu
In the "BRIGHTNESS" sub menu, you can select between three different expo-
sure controls: AUTOMATIC - LOW LIGHT AUTO - MANUAL
AUTOMATIC In this mode the camera adjusts the brightness of the video image automati-
cally to the value specified by the <brightness> keys
and . Exposure con-
trol affects the exposure time of the camera.
The nominal brightness is set in the AUTOMATIC mode. The camera controls
the exposure time in the range between 1/50(60)s and 1/10000s. The expo-
sure time currently selected is not displayed on the monitor. The nominal
brightness can be adjusted between 0 and 100%. Changes are made in 5%
increments.
A required value in the range between 50% and 70% usually provides op-
timum exposure results.
LOW AUTO This mode has the same function as AUTOMATIC mode, however, exposure
times longer than 1/50 (60)s are allowed, which can result in blurred move-
ments.

keys are pressed. The setting range extends from 1/6 to 1/10000.
