3 Slow Shutter
Select the longest slow shutter speed used in the Auto Exposure mode when shooting a dark
image. NTSC: “Not Used”, “1/15”, and “1/8.” PAL: “Not Used”, “1/12”, and “1/6”. A longer shutter
speed results in a longer trail with a moving object. Select a speed appropriate for the shooting
scene (
→dStart Guide P.1-8).
4 Day & Night
Specify how to switch between the Day and Night modes. Select from “Manual” and “Auto”.
* If you are using an infrared lamp, you cannot use the Auto mode.
Tip
● The auto focus might have difficulty with the following objects:
Focus Mode Day Mode Night Mode*
Auto 0.3m (11.8 in) –
∞
Auto (for domes) 2.0m (78.7 in) –
∞
0.3m (11.8 in) –
∞
Fixed at infinity Point of infinity
Subjects with little or
no contrast (a white
wall, for example) Angled subjects Highly reflective
subjects
Subjects that consist
entirely of oblique or
horizontal lines or stripes Insubstantial
subjects such as
flames or smoke Subjects seen
through glass
Quickly moving
subjects Night views or dark
places Far and near
subjects in a frame
● The focusing range (approx) differs depend on the Day Mode or Night Mode. The
ranges for Wide and Tele ends are the same.
* When you are using an infrared lamp, the focusing range for “Auto” and “Auto
(for domes)” will be approximately 0.6m (23.6in) to
∞, and for “Fixed at infinity”, it
may become out of focus depending on objects.
● When focus adjustment is difficult (e.g., when shooting a night scene which has
low contrast), it is recommended to fix the focus to infinity.
