1 Set the AUTO/MANUAL/FOCUS switch to MANUAL.
The icon shown in the illustration is displayed automatically.
2 Move the joystick down several times and select
the shutter speed indication (such as 1/100) or iris/
gain indication (such as F2.4, 0dB).
3 Move the joystick left or right to make the
adjustment.
A Shutter speed:
1/50 to 1/8000
1/50 to 1/500
≥ The shutter speed closer to 1/8000 (1/500) is faster.
B Iris/Gain value:
CLOSE # (F16 to F2.0) # OPEN # 0dB # 18dB
≥ Value closer to [CLOSE] darken the image.
≥ Value closer to [18dB] brighten the image.
≥ Values with [dB] are gain values.
To restore to automatic adjustment
Set the AUTO/MANUAL/FOCUS switch to AUTO.
≥ When setting both the shutter speed and the iris/
gain value, set the shutter speed and then set the
iris/gain value.
∫ Manual shutter speed adjustment
≥ Avoid recording under fluorescent light, mercury
light or sodium light because the colour and
brightness of the playback image may change.
≥ If you increase the shutter speed manually, the
sensitivity lowers and accordingly the gain value
increases automatically, which may increase the
noises on the screen.
≥ You may see vertical lines of light in the playback
image of a brightly shining subject or highly
reflective subject, but this is not a malfunction.
≥ During normal playback, image movement may not
look smooth.
