• Focus ranges (rough guide) are shown in the following table
according to the settings of [Day/Night] (P. 4-11), etc.
Camera Control
1 [Digital Zoom]
Set digital zoom to [Enable] or [Disable].
* The higher the digital zoom ratio, the lower the image
quality becomes.
2 [Image Stabilizer]
Select [Disable], [On1] or [On2] for image stabilizer.
Image stabilizer has the effect of correcting blurry
images. Try [On2] if the image is still blurry after
selecting [On1].
If you have selected [On1] or [On2] as the image
stabilizer setting, the viewing angle will be smaller and
the image more coarse than when [Disable] is
selected. This is not a malfunction.
Day/Night
1 [Mode]
Set Day/Night mode to [Manual] or [Auto].
If [Manual] is selected, it is possible to switch manually
between [Day Mode] and [Night Mode] using Admin
Viewer Night Mode function (P. 6-15).
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.
* [Auto] cannot be used with an environment where
infrared illumination is also used.
2 [Switching Brightness]
Set the brightness at which [Day Mode] and [Night
Mode] will be switched. Select [Darker], [Slightly
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
switches to black & white sooner.
3 [Response (sec.)]
Set the time in seconds needed for judgment on
switching between [Day Mode] and [Night Mode].
Select [5], [10], [20], [30] or [60].
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
• 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. 6-13).
• To use with infrared illumination, set [Day/Night] to [Manual].
Infrared illumination cannot be used with [Auto].
• 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.
