Setting the Exposure

You can set various options relating to exposure

operation.

Exposure Mode
Select from [Auto], [Manual], [Auto (Flickerless)] or

[Auto (Shutter-priority AE)].

If [Auto] is selected for [Day/Night] under [Camera] on

the Setting page (P. 4-11), select [Auto], [Auto

(Flickerless)] or [Auto (Shutter-priority AE)].

For an explanation on each item set in the exposure

mode, see the setting page (P. 4-9).

[Exposure Compensation]
When [Auto], [Auto (Flickerless)] or [Auto (Shutter-

priority AE)] is selected for the exposure mode, the

exposure compensation value desired can be selected

from seven levels (-3 to +3) using the applicable button.

To darken the image, select a negative value. To

brighten the image, select a positive value.

[Metering Mode]
When [Auto], [Auto (Flickerless)] or [Auto (Shutter-

priority AE)] is selected for the exposure mode, the

metering mode can be selected from [Center-

Weighted], [Average] or [Spot].

[Center-Weighted]
The entire screen is metered by focusing on the

center of the screen.

Even when slightly darker/brighter areas are present

on the periphery of the screen, an appropriate

exposure can be achieved for the subject near the

center.

Use this mode if the subject is positioned near the

center of the screen.

Important

• Changes to focus mode in the Admin Viewer will not be

reflected in the settings on the setting page.

• Note that if you set the focus manually it will remain fixed.

• If you set it in the Admin Viewer, the same focus mode will

occur in the viewers of other users also.

• Setting the shutter speed at 1/1 to 1/4 in manual exposure

(P. 6-13) will disable the [Auto] and [One-shot AF] focus

modes in camera control. Switch the focus to [Manual] and
adjust it to your subject.

• Refer to the notes on P. 4-10 for focus ranges when Night

Mode (P. 4-11, P. 6-15) is enabled.
