Initial Camera Settings(1) [AE Mode], [Slow Shutter], [Shutter Speed] 
Set the exposure control and shutter speed for the 
camera startup. 
[AE Mode] 
[Auto] 
The exposure is controlled automatically. 
[Auto (Flickerless)] 
In this mode, video flickers caused by fluorescent 
lights, etc., can be reduced. The shutter speed is 
automatically adjusted according to the brightness 
of the environment in which the camera is used.
[Auto (Flickerless 2)]
Use this mode if flickering is not reduced when 
[Auto (Flickerless)] is selected. However, the 
automatic adjustment range for the shutter speed is 
suppressed so as not to exceed 1/100 sec. in this 
mode, resulting in improper exposure (i.e., 
excessive brightness) in some cases.
[Auto (Shutter-priority AE)] 
In this mode, a desired shutter speed can be 
specified. 
[Slow Shutter] 
Slow shutter can be used only if [Auto], [Auto 
(Flickerless)] or [Auto (Flickerless 2)] is selected in 
[AE Mode]. 
Set the maximum slow shutter time to be used when 
in auto exposure mode when capturing video in a 
dark place. Select [Disable], [1/15], [1/8], [1/4] or 
[1/2]. As slower shutter speed generates residual 
video when capturing a moving subject, select an 
appropriate time according to the capture conditions. 
[Shutter Speed] 
Shutter speed can be used only if [Auto (Shutter-priority 
AE) ] is selected in [AE Mode]. 
Select a desired shutter speed from the 16 levels from 
[1/2] to [1/ 16000]. When capturing a moving subject, 
selecting a higher shutter speed can reduce blurry video 
capture. 
(2) [Exposure Compensation]

exposure can be achieved for the subject near the 
center. 
Use this mode if the subject is positioned near the 
center of the screen. 
[Average] 
The entire screen is metered by averaging. 
A stable exposure can be achieved even in a 
capture environment where there are notable 
brightness differences within the screen. 
Use this mode to stabilize the exposure in locations 
where vehicles or people are moving. 
[Spot] 
The center of the screen is metered. 
An appropriate exposure can be achieved for the 
subject at the center of the screen regardless of the 
brightness/darkness on the periphery of the screen. 
Use this mode if you want to adjust the exposure to 
the center of the screen because the subject is 
receiving a spotlight or backlight, etc. 
(4) [Focus Mode]

The higher the digital zoom ratio, the lower the video 
quality becomes. 
(2) [AGC Limit]
Select one of 5 levels from 1 to 5 to automatically set 
the upper gain limit. The greater the value, the higher 
the sensitivity becomes. If you do not want to use the 
automatic gain adjustment, select [OFF]. Setting 
[AGC Limit] allows you to reduce noise when 
capturing video in low illumination.
(3) [Smart Shade Control Strength (Auto)]
Select [Mild], [Medium], or [Strong] for the control 
strength when [Smart Shade Control] (p. 47) is set to 
[Auto].
Important
 The initial camera settings (1) to (11) define the defaults that 
apply when the camera is started. Setting changes will be 
reflected only after the camera is reconnected or rebooted. 
Specify the settings used in the actual operating environment 
from the Admin Viewer (p. 141).
 If the subject is a traffic signal or electronic scoreboard, etc., 
the captured video may flicker. 
In this case, try changing the [AE Mode] setting to [Auto 
(Shutter-priority AE)] and selecting a shutter speed lower 
than 1/100 to see if the problem improves.
 Even if [AE Mode] is set to [Auto (Flickerless)] or [Auto 
(Flickerless 2)], some screen flicker may still occur under 
unstable light source conditions. 
 Setting a slow shutter speed may make it impossible for 
intelligent functions to work correctly. Select a shutter speed 
that suits the capture conditions and purpose.
 In conditions where an outdoor scene is captured 
from an indoor location through a glass window, the camera 
may focus on the glass surface if there is dust or water there. 
Install the camera at the shortest possible distance from the 
glass surface. 
 [Smart Shade Control] cannot be used if [Haze 
Compensation] is set to [Auto] or [Manual].
 [Haze Compensation] cannot be used if [Smart Shade 
Control] is set to [Auto] or [Manual].
 If [Auto] is selected for [Day/Night], conduct a thorough 
operation test to check the effectiveness of the setting 
beforehand. 
 If [Auto] is selected for [Day/Night], set [Exposure] of the 
Admin Viewer to [Auto], [Auto (Flickerless)], [Auto 
(Flickerless 2)] or [Auto (Shutter-priority AE)] (p. 143).
However, when [Auto (Shutter-priority AE)] is being used, 
night mode may not be activated even if [Day/Night] is set to 
[Auto], depending on the shutter speed.
 Though the camera has an infrared filter, there is no effect on 
lighting due to infrared light as the camera does not have an 
insertion/removal mechanism for the filter.
 The Day/Night Mode can be switched manually via the Day/
Night function of the Admin Viewer (p. 144), or via the 
[External Device Input] (p. 61) or [Timer] (p. 62) settings in
