Camera Name [Camera Name] Be sure to enter [Camera Name (alphanumeric characters)]. Up to 15 ASCII characters (spaces and printable characters) may be used for [Camera Name (alphanumeric characters)]. Note • The camera name set here will be shown when the camera is registered for use with RM Viewer. Initial Camera Settings (1) [AE Mode], [Slow Shutter], [Shutter Speed] Set the exposure control and shutter speed for the camera startup. [AE Mode] [Auto] The exposure is controlled automatically. [Auto (Flickerless)] In this mode, image flickers caused by fluorescent lights, etc., can be reduced. The shutter speed is automatically adjusted according to the brightness of the environment in which the camera is used. [Auto (Shutter-priority AE)] In this mode, a desired shutter speed can be specified. [Slow Shutter] Slow shutter can be used only if [Auto] or [Auto (Flickerless)] is selected in [AE Mode]. Set the maximum slow shutter time to be used when in auto exposure mode when capturing video in a dark place. Select [Disable], [1/15], [1/8], [1/4] or [1/2]. As slower shutter speed generates residual images when capturing a moving subject, select an appropriate time according to the capture conditions. [Shutter Speed] Shutter speed can be used only if [Auto (Shutter-priority AE)] is selected in [AE Mode]. Select a desired shutter speed from the 16 levels from [1/2] to [1/16000]. When capturing a moving subject, selecting a higher shutter speed can reduce blurry image capture. (2) [Exposure Compensation] The exposure compensation when the camera starts can be set in the range of [-4 (Dark)] to [4 (Bright)]. To brighten the image, set a positive value. To darken the image, set a negative value. The setting is not available if [Smart Shade Control] is set to [Auto]. (3) [Metering Mode] Set the metering mode when the camera starts. [Center-Weighted] The entire screen is metered by focusing on the center of the screen. Even when slightly darker/brighter areas are present on the periphery of the screen, an appropriate exposure can be achieved for the subject near the center. Use this mode if the subject is positioned near the center of the screen. 56
