Panasonic WV-BS504 - Manual (Page 9)

• AUTO MODE
AUTO MODE is for setting the movement of the camera. You can select from three automatic operation modes
and one manual operation mode as follows:
OFF mode: No automatic operation. The camera can be operated only manually.
SEQ mode: The camera operates in the sequence of preset positions in numerical order.
SORT mode: The camera operates in the sequence of preset positions counterclockwise from PanЯilt Starting
Point.
AUTO PAN mode: The camera automatically turns within the preset panning range.
See page 17 for the setting.
•LOCAUREMOTE
LOCAUREMOTE determines the relationship between camera operation and ON/OFF status of the controller.
You can select one of the following two modes:
LOCAL: The camera continues operating in auto mode when the controller is turned OFF.
REMOTE: The camera stops operating in auto mode approx. 1 minute after the controller is turned off.
See page 18 for the setting.
• Camera
(1) Camera Identification (CAMERA ID)
You can use the camera identification (CAMERA ID) to assign a name to the camera. The camera ID
consists of up to 16 alphanumeric characters. You can select whether to have the camera ID displayed on
the monitor screen or not.
Note:
See page 19 for the setting.
(2) Light Control (ALC/MANUAL)
You can select the mode for adjusting the lens iris.
The modes are as follows:
ALC: The lens iris is automatically adjusted according to the brightness of the object.
MANUAL: The lens iris is fixed at the value you have set regardless of the brightness of the object.
■ Back Light Compensation (BACK LIGHT COMP)
Back light compensation is available in ALC mode. It eliminates interference by strong background lighting
which maxes the camera picture dark, such as a spotlight. You can select one of two modes (PRESET ON
or PRESET OFF) for back light compensation.
This function is disabled in MANUAL mode.
• Factory Setup Mode (PRESET ON)
In normal use the important object in a scene is placed in the center of the monitor’s screen. In the factory
setup mode, more photometric weight is given to the center of the screen (where the important object is
located) than to the edge of the picture (where a bright back light would most likely be located). In this
mode, even though the back light may vary, the object at the center of the screen can still be clearly seen.
Note:
See page 20 for the setting. •
• Field Setup Mode (PRESET OFF)
This mode is effective when the main object in the scene is not located in the center of the screen and a
source of bright light is located near the center of the screen. In this mode, the picture is divided into 48
areas. If there is a source of brightness that interferes with the clarity of the picture in these masks,
corresponding areas mask the light to keep the clarity of the picture.
Generally, when a light from the background is too strong such as a spotlight, all objects except the main
object
in the picture are displayed darker because the lens iris is adjusted with respect to strong
brightness. This model ignores strong brightness by masking the source of the strong brightness, thereby
all objects are displayed clearly.
