▼Camera Initial Settings
1 AE Mode, Slow Shutter, Shutter Speed
Set the camera's exposure mode and shutter speed.
AE Mode
Auto
"Auto" is used to automatically control the exposure.
Flickerless
"Flickerless" is used to reduce flicker in video caused by some factors, like fluorescent lamps. The
shutter speed is automatically adjusted according to the brightness of the shooting environment.
Shutter-priority AE
"Shutter-priority AE" is used when specifying the shutter speed.
Slow Shutter
Slow Shutter can be set only when "AE Mode" is set to "Auto".
Select the slowest shutter speed, which is used to capture video in lower light conditions in
the "Auto" mode. You can select the speed from "Disable", "1/15" and "1/8". Moving subjects
may be blurred when captured in low light conditions, so it is important to select the suitable
mode according to the shooting condition.
Shutter Speed
Shutter Speed can be set only when "AE Mode" is set to "Shutter-Speed Priority AE".
You can choose from 12 levels of shutter speed between "1/8" and "1/8000". It is recommended
to specify faster speed when capturing moving subjects, so that the image blur can be reduced.
2 Focus Mode
Set the camera's focus mode.
Auto
"Auto" is used to automatically obtain correct focus. Normally, select "Auto".
Fixed at infinity
The focus is fixed at a point of infinity.
● When monitoring subjects through a glass window, the camera may focus on the glass
surface if there is dust or drop of water on it. So, in such situation, be sure to place the
Note
camera at a close distance from the window, possibly less than 30 cm.
● The above item 1 and 2 are the initial values used at camera startup. The new settings
will be applied when the camera is turned on again or the camera is rebooted.
Use the "Control for Admin" panel of VB-C60 viewer to configure the settings used in the
actual operating environment (➞ P.3-21).
● When capturing subjects like traffic lights and electronic signboards, the captured
video may be blinking. It may be reduced by changing the exposure mode to "Auto
(Shutter-priority AE)" and choosing a shutter speed of 1/100 or slower.
