• Outdoor scene: Depending on the brightness level (illuminance), the iris will automatically be controlled
together with the shutter speed adjustment to control light. When shooting a bright subject such as outdoor,
etc., select this parameter. Be aware that flicker may occur when a subject is under fluorescent lighting.
• Indoor scene (50 Hz) / Indoor scene (60 Hz): The shutter speed will automatically be adjusted to prevent
flicker caused by fluorescent light. Select 50 Hz or 60 Hz corresponding to the location where the camera
is in use.

with less blur.
• When a faster shutter speed is selected, the sensitivity will become lower.

Select a method of gain adjustment from the following.
• On(High)/ On(Mid)/ On(Low): When the luminance of the subject becomes darker, gain will be
automatically increased and screen will become brighter. “High”, “Mid” and “Low” are indications of gain
level.
• Off: Images will be captured with the fixed gain level.
• Default: On(High)
[Auto slow shutter]
The electronic sensitivity enhancement (sensitivity up) can be carried out by adjusting the storage time of the
sensor.
The following are available for the recording duration.
Off(1/30s), Max.2/30s, Max.4/30s, Max.6/30s, Max.10/30s, Max.16/30s
• Default: Off(1/30s)
IMPORTANT
• When “On” is selected for “Auto slow shutter”, frame rate may become lower. Noise or white dots
(blemishes) may sometimes appear.
Note
• When “Max.16/30s” is selected, for example, sensitivity will automatically be increased up to x16.
• When “Off” is selected for “AGC”, this setting is unavailable.
