You can also switch between [Day Mode] and [Night Mode] using the Day/Night mode function of the Admin Viewer (p. 155). Important • The initial camera settings (1) to (11) define the defaults that apply when the camera is started. Setting changes will be reflected only after the camera is reconnected or rebooted. Specify the settings used in the actual operating environment from the Admin Viewer (p. 151). • If the subject is a traffic signal or electronic scoreboard, etc., the captured image may flicker. In this case, try changing the [AE Mode] setting to [Auto (Shutter-priority AE)] and selecting a shutter speed lower than 1/100 to see if the problem improves. • Setting a slow shutter speed may make it impossible for intelligent functions to work correctly. Select a shutter speed that suits the capture conditions and purpose. • In conditions where an outdoor scene is captured from an indoor location through a glass window, the camera may focus on the glass surface if there is dust or water there. Install the camera at the shortest possible distance from the glass surface. • [Smart Shade Control] cannot be used if [Haze Compensation] is set to [Auto] or [Manual]. • [Haze Compensation] cannot be used if [Smart Shade Control] is set to [Auto] or [Manual]. • If [Auto] is selected for [Day/Night], conduct a thorough operation test to check the effectiveness of the setting beforehand. • If [Auto] is selected for [Day/Night], set [Exposure] of the Admin Viewer to [Auto], [Auto (Flickerless)] or [Auto (Shutterpriority AE)] (p. 153). However, when [Auto (Shutter-priority AE)] is being used, night mode may not be activated even if [Day/Night] is set to [Auto], depending on the shutter speed. • The Day/Night Mode can be switched manually via the Day/ Night function of the Admin Viewer (p. 155), or via the [External Device Input] (p. 72) or [Timer] (p. 73) settings in [Setting Page] > [Event]. • To use with infrared illumination, set [Day/Night] to [Manual]. • When Day Mode and Night Mode are switched, the image may not focus correctly depending on the brightness. • If [Day/Night] is set to [Auto], the infrared cutoff filter may move several times while the mode is switching between Day Mode and Night Mode. Pan, tilt, zoom and manual focus will not work during this period. Note • See "Subjects Difficult to Focus On" (p. 42). • It is recommended that you check the focus after rebooting the camera. • Focus ranges (rough guide) are shown in the following table according to the settings of [Day/Night (when Auto is set)], etc. Focus Mode Auto Fixed at infinity Dome Setting Day/Night Setting Day Mode Night Mode Wide end Tele end Wide end Tele end Do not use 0.3 m (12 in) - infinity 1.0 m (3.3 ft) - infinity 1.0 m (3.3 ft) - infinity 1.5 m (4.9 ft) - infinity Use 2.0 m (6.6 ft) - infinity 1.0 m (3.3 ft) 2.2 m (7.2 ft) - infinity - infinity Do not use/ Use Focused at infinity* * When using an infrared lamp, the camera may be out of focus. Camera Control (1) [Digital Zoom] Set digital zoom to [Disable] or [Enable]. The higher the digital zoom ratio, the lower the image quality becomes. (2) [Image Stabilizer] Select [Disable], [On1] or [On2] for image stabilizer. The image stabilizer function has the effect of correcting blurry images caused by movement of the camera. Try [On2] if the image is still blurry after selecting [On1]. If you have selected [On1] or [On2] as the image stabilizer setting, the viewing angle will be smaller and the image more coarse than when [Disable] is selected. This is not a malfunction. (3) [AGC Limit] Select one of 5 levels from 1 to 5 to automatically set the upper gain limit. The greater the value, the higher the sensitivity becomes. If you do not want to use the automatic gain adjustment, select [OFF]. Setting the [AGC Limit] allows you to record with reduced noise when recording in low light conditions. (4) [Smart Shade Control Strength (Auto)] Select [Mild], [Medium], or [Strong] for the control strength when [Smart Shade Control] (p. 57) is set to [Auto]. • [Mild]: Select this when noise reduction is a priority. • [Medium]: Recommended setting for auto mode (factory default setting). • [Strong]: Select this when visibility in dark areas of the scene is a priority. (5) [Haze Compensation Strength (Auto)] Select [Mild], [Medium], or [Strong] for the haze compensation strength when [Haze Compensation] (p. 57) is set to [Auto]. 58
