cannot be obtained even when the lens iris is
opened in shooting dark scenes.

NIGHT EYE (Night Eye L/H): Use this mode if suffi-

cient video output cannot be obtained even if 30
dB gain up should be selected.
Night Eye can be selected to any of two (L or H)
levels.

Black Level Setting [Pedestal: –30 - +30]
