AUTO.

≥When setting both the shutter speed and the

iris/gain value, set the shutter speed and then

Manual shutter speed adjustment

≥Avoid recording under fluorescent light,

mercury light or sodium light because the
colour and brightness of the playback image
may change.

≥If you increase the shutter speed manually, the

gain value will increase automatically
depending on how much the sensitivity lowers
and the noise on the screen may increase.

≥When recording still pictures, we recommend

setting the shutter speed to 1/500 or less for
even more beautiful pictures.

≥You may see vertical lines of light in the

playback image of a brightly shining subject or
highly reflective subject, but this is not a
malfunction.

≥During normal playback, image movement may

not look smooth.

≥When recording in an extremely bright place,

the screen may change colour or flicker. If so
adjust the shutter speed manually to [1/50] or
[1/100].

Manual iris/gain adjustment

≥If the gain value is increased, the noise on the

screen increases.

≥Depending on the zoom magnification, there

are iris values that are not displayed.
