If [Manual] is selected, it is possible to switch manually

between [Day Mode] and [Night Mode] using Admin

Viewer Night Mode function (P. 7-14).

If you have selected [Auto], set [Switching Brightness]

and [Response (sec.)] according to the environment in

which the camera is installed as well as the desired

switching conditions.

Darker], [Standard], [Slightly Brighter] or [Brighter].

Select [Darker] if you want to capture video in color as

much as possible.

Select [Brighter] to reduce noise. Note that this mode

The mode will switch between [Day Mode] and [Night

Mode] if brightness remains above or below the level

set in 2 for the number of seconds specified.

Select [30] or [60] if brightness changes frequently,

such as when a light source passes in front of the

camera. Select [5] or [10] if change in brightness is

minimal.

Important

• The initial camera settings 1 to 5 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. 7-10).

• If the subject is a traffic signal or electronic scoreboard, etc.,

the captured image 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.

Important

• 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 [AE Mode] and the

Admin Viewer to [Auto], [Auto (Flickerless)] or [Auto (Shutter-
priority AE)] (P. 7-12).

• To use with infrared illumination, set [Day/Night] to [Manual].

Infrared illumination cannot be used with [Auto].

• When [Day Mode] and [Night Mode] are switched, the image

may not focus correctly depending on the brightness.

• If [Day/Night] is set to [Auto], the infrared cutoff filter may

move several times while the mode is switching between
[Day Mode] and [Night Mode]. Pan, tilt, zoom and manual
focus will not work during this period.
