Performing Operations and Settings in the Admin Viewer Example of setting method: Illuminate a white subject (white paper, etc.) using the light source, making sure the subject fills the entire screen, and then execute [One-shot WB]. [R Gain], [B Gain] When setting the white balance manually, set the values of red and blue gain in the range 0 to 1023 to match the light source. Important • Since the light source selection options are based on representative characteristics, proper colors may not be achieved depending on the applicable light source. In this case, use the [One-shot WB] function. • If the subject looks greenish under mercury lamps in the [Auto] mode, select the [Mercury Lamp] mode under light source. If the image is still not shown in appropriate colors under mercury lamps when the [Mercury Lamp] mode is selected under light source, use [One-shot WB]. • When the subject has only one color, under low light conditions, or when sodium lamps, mercury lamps or certain other fluorescent lighting is used, colors may not be adjusted automatically. • When [Day/Night] is set to [Night Mode] (including when it is set to [Auto] and night mode is judged to be applicable), the white balance function cannot be used. • Notes on capturing video continuously day and night If a subject that seldom changes is captured in a location where the light source changes gradually, such as when capturing a subject continuously day and night, appropriate colors may not be achieved. In the above case, applying changes to the image to capture will achieve the appropriate colors. Setting the Day/Night Mode (1) (2) (3) (4) (1) [Auto] The camera automatically switches to day mode or night mode depending on ambient brightness. (2) [Day Mode] Color image can be viewed in the normal mode. (3) [Night Mode] Images are shown in black and white, due to the disabling of the infrared cut filter. (4) [Day/Night Mode Focus Settings] Click to display the [Day/Night Mode Focus Settings] panel for making focus settings when switching Day/ Night Mode.

(5) (6) (7) 6 Admin Viewer/VB Viewer (5) (6) (8) Focusing positions will vary under different light sources, such as fluorescent or infrared, since the wavelengths of these light sources vary. One of the following methods can be used to adjust the focusing position to allow for these differences when switching Day/Night Mode. (5) [Use One-shot AF] This is the factory default setting. Select this option to use One-shot AF when switching Day/Night Mode. (6) [Move to registered focus position] When switching Day/Night Mode, the focus positions preregistered for Day Mode and Night Mode in [Register focus position] will be used. For details, see "Registering the Focus Positions" (p. 156). (7) [Compensate for light source] Select this option to adjust the focus position to suit the lighting being used when switching to Night Mode. [Fluorescent] Select this option to capture video under fluorescent, LED, sodium or mercury lighting. [Halogen Lamp] Select this option to capture video under halogen or incandescent lighting. [Infrared (740nm)] Select this option to capture video under infrared (740 nm wavelength) lighting. [Infrared (850nm)] Select this option to capture video under infrared (850 nm wavelength) lighting. 155
