4. Move the cursor to MASK SET O, and then press
the CAM (SET) button.
This will display the mask area screen, with the
cursor in the upper left cell.
5. Mask the cells in the area where background
lighting is bright. Masking an area will cause its
brightness level to be ignored.
Use the following steps to perform masking
(1) Tilt the joystick up and down, and left and right
to move the cursor to a cell you want to mask.
(2) Press the CAM (SET) button to mask the cell.
Moving the cursor to a cell that is already
masked causes the blinking pattern of the
cursor to alternate between horizontal stripes
and white.
Pressing the CAM (SET) button while the cursor
is located at a masked cell cancels the masking
of the cell.
To cancel all masking areas, press the F2 button

(3) After masking all of the cells you want, press the
MON (ESC) button to return to the ALC CONT
menu in step 1.
6. Move the cursor to LEVEL, and then tilt the joystick
left and right to adjust the picture output level
(picture contrast).
If you selected ON in step 3 of this procedure, best
results can be obtained by setting a contrast level
that is somewhat high. A contrast level that is too
high, however, may increase the tendency of
afterimages and noise.
Note:
• If operation of the system controller's IRIS
(OPEN, CLOSE) button during operation is done
after the menu is closed, the LEVEL on the
CAMERA menu is reflected and stored for these
settings. However, if the camera is in a preset
position, it is reflected as a parameter of the
preset position. To return to the initial factory
default level, execute the system controller's iris
reset.
• When the Light Control is in ALC, "IRIS-CLOSE"
is displayed below the pan/tilt/zoom position
display when the iris is completely closed.
When the Light Control is in MANUAL, "IRIS-
CLOSE" is not displayed.
(3) Shutter Speed (SHUTTER)
1. Move the cursor to SHUTTER, and then tilt the
joystick left or right to select a shutter speed
setting.
Tilting the joystick cycles through the shutter speed
settings display in the sequence shown below.
