How to Operate and Set Up

on the toolbar.
2. The Camera-specific features dialog box
appears.
q Exposure
Select from Auto Exposure and Manual Exposure.
w Auto Exposure
The 4 buttons to the right become active when you select
Auto Exposure. From the left the 4 buttons are No
Backlight Compensation, Low Backlight Compensation,
Medium Backlight Compensation and High Backlight
Compensation, and the higher the compensation, the
brighter the image becomes. Click a button to activate
the backlight compensation you need.
e "Manual Exposure"
You can set Fixed Aperture, Fixed Shutter Speed and Fixed Gain.
Fixed Aperture
The further to the left you move the slide bar, the more closed the aperture and the darker the image.
Conversely, the further to the right you move the slide bar, the more open the aperture and the
brighter the image.
Fixed Shutter Speed
Fixes shutter speed. If you specify a fast shutter speed (1/125, 1/250 etc.), the darker the
image becomes. Conversely, if you specify a slow shutter speed (1/1, 1/2 etc.) the brighter the
image becomes.
Fixed Gain
The further to the left you move the slide bar, the lower the gain (sensitivity for brightness) and
the darker the image. Conversely, the further to the right you move the slide bar, the higher the
gain and the brighter the image.
r Digital zoom
You can enlarge the image using the digital zoom. When you use zoom, other images sent to
the Viewer are enlarged also.
* Digital zoom is not available if you configure the "Manual Exposure" or Night Mode.
* When using the digital zoom, the video quality is deteriorated as it zooms in closer.
t "Night vision"

Mode settings.
"Infrared Light" button
Click to turn on the infrared light built into the device and pictures taken
