momentarily appears on the monitor screen.
This resets all adjustments and parameters to the factory default settings.
• Editing the CAM SET UP Menu
Important Notice:
When SET UP DISABLE appears in the bottom line of the CAM SET UP menu, you can-
not change the currently active settings. This is to prevent accidental changing of the
settings.
To edit the CAM SET UP menu (change
settings), press U and D or L and R to
move the cursor to SET UP DISABLE in
the bottom line.
Press SET. SET UP DISABLE changes
to SET UP ENABLE. Move the cursor to
END, then to the item(s) you want to
change.
Important Notice:
When the setup menu is closed after changing the parameters in the menu, the new
values are stored in the EEPROM (Electrically Erasable and Programmable Read-Only
Memory). These values remain valid until new values are stored, even if the power of
the camera is off.

SETTING PROCEDURES

1. Camera Identification (CAMERA ID) Setting
You can use the camera identification (CAMERA ID) to assign a name to the camera. The
camera ID consists of up to 16 alphanumeric characters. The camera ID display can be
switched on or off on the monitor screen.
To edit the CAMERA ID
1. Move the cursor to CAMERA ID.
Highlighted
The factory default setting is OFF.
2. Press SET.
appears. The cursor on the letter "0" is
highlighted.
3. Move the cursor to the character you
want to edit by pressing L/R/U/D.
4. After selecting the character, press
SET. The selected character appears
in the editing area. (The pointer in the
editing area moves to the right auto-
matically at this moment.)
5. Repeat the steps above until all characters are edited.
To enter a blank space in the CAMERA ID
Move the cursor to SPACE and press SET.
To replace a specific character in the CAMERA ID
1. Move the cursor to the editing area by pressing D.
2. Move the pointer to the character to be replaced by pressing L or R. Then move the
cursor to the character area and select a new character.
3. Press SET to determine the CAMERA ID.
To clear all characters in the editing area
Move the cursor to RESET and press SET. All characters in the editing area disappear.
To determine the display position of the CAMERA ID
1. Move the cursor to POSI, and press SET. The display in the figure appears and the
CAMERA ID is highlighted.
2. Move the CAMERA ID to the desired posi-
tion by pressing L/R/U/D.
3. Press SET to fix the position of the CAM-
ERA ID. The mode returns to the previous
CAMERA ID menu.
Notes:
• The CAMERA ID stops at the edges of the monitor screen.
• The CAMERA ID moves faster if any of L/R/U/D is kept pressed for a second or
more.
2. Light Control Setting (ALC/ELC)
You can select the mode for adjusting the lens iris.
ALC: If you use the auto iris lens, select this parameter.
ELC: If you use a fixed or manual iris lens, select this parameter.
The factory default setting is ALC.
1. Move the cursor to ALC/ELC.
2. Select ALC or ELC.
Cautions:
1. Under bright lighting conditions such as outdoors, use an ALC type lens because the
ELC control range is not wide enough under these conditions.
2. Use an ALC type lens if the following phenomena occur:
• Strong smear and/or blooming on highlight objects such as spotlight or sunlight
from windows.
• Noticeable flicker in the picture and/or color rendition variations.
3. If ELC is selected, SUPER-D2 and SHUTTER are not available and white balance mode
is automatically set to ATW1 or ATW2 previously set.
4. If ELC is selected for ALC/ELC and used with the fixed iris lens in, the focal depth
becomes shallower than with the ALC type lens. Therefore, the range of focus-to-object
distance becomes narrower.

The important object in a scene is usually placed in the center of the monitor screen. In the
ATW1
OFF
SUPER-D2 mode, more photometric weight is given to the center of the screen (where the
DC
important object is located) than to the edge of the screen (where a bright backlight would
most likely be located). You can use the SUPER-D2 function if you select ALC. It eliminates
interference by strong background lighting which makes the camera picture dark, such as a
spotlight.
1. Select ALC, and press SET . The ALC
CONT menu appears.
2. Move the cursor to SUPER-D2 and
select ON.
3. If you want to adjust the video output level, move the "I" cursor for LEVEL. Adjust to the
desired level by pressing L or R.
