Setting the brightness
Under brightness you can adjust the brightness of the video image in 5%
increments between 0% and 100% using the
, keys. The value set
appears in the upper left corner of the monitor.
The configuration menu gives you the choice between three different modes
in the brightness menu: AUTOMATIC - LOW LIGHT AUTO - MANUAL.
AUTO
In AUTO mode the camera adjusts the brightness of the video image
automatically to the value specified by the
and control keys.
Exposure control affects the exposure time of the camera.
The nominal brightness is set in the AUTO mode. The camera controls the
exposure time in the range between 1/50(60)s and 1/10000s accordingly.
The nominal brightness can be adjusted between 0 and 100%. The change
is made in 5% increments.
A target value in a range from 50% to 70% usually provides the best exposure
results.
LOW AUTO
This has the same function as AUTO Mode, however, exposure times longer
than 1/50(60)s are allowed, which can result in blurred movements.
MANUAL
In MANUAL Mode the selected exposure time is displayed when the
control keys are pressed. The setting range extends from 1/6 to 1/10,000.
