Setting the Focus
Select [Auto], [Manual] or [Fixed at Infinity] for focus
setting.
[Auto]: Automatically focuses on the
subject.
[Manual]: You can adjust the focus manually
by pushing the (far) and

Clicking [One-shot AF] will use
autofocus to focus on a subject and
then stop in manual focus.

fixed near infinity.
Setting the Exposure
You can set various options relating to exposure
operation.
1 Exposure Mode
Select from [Auto], [Manual], [Auto (Flickerless)] or
[Auto (Shutter-priority AE)].
If [Auto] is selected for [Day/Night] under [Camera] on
the Setting page (P. 4-11), select [Auto], [Auto
(Flickerless)] or [Auto (Shutter-priority AE)].
For an explanation on each item set in the exposure
mode, see the setting page (P. 4-9).
2 [Exposure Compensation]
When [Auto], [Auto (Flickerless)] or [Auto (Shutter-
priority AE)] is selected for the exposure mode, the
exposure compensation value desired can be selected
from seven levels (-3 to +3) using the applicable button.
To darken the image, select a negative value. To
brighten the image, select a positive value.
3 [Metering Mode]
When [Auto], [Auto (Flickerless)] or [Auto (Shutter-
priority AE)] is selected for the exposure mode, the
metering mode can be selected from [Center-
Weighted], [Average] or [Spot].
[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.
Important
Changes to focus mode in the Admin Viewer will not be
reflected in the settings on the setting page.
Note that if you set the focus manually it will remain fixed.
If you set it in the Admin Viewer, the same focus mode will
occur in the viewers of other users also.
Setting the shutter speed at 1/1 to 1/4 in manual exposure
(P. 6-13) will disable the [Auto] and [One-shot AF] focus
modes in camera control. Switch the focus to [Manual] and
adjust it to your subject.
Refer to the notes on P. 4-10 for focus ranges when Night
Mode (P. 4-11, P. 6-15) is enabled.
