  • Page 19 The shutter speed of the camera is perfectly analogous to the shutter speed of a conventional camera, although for a solid state imager, such as that used in the MIPS USB cameras, there is no physical shutter as such. For this type of camera, the shutter speed refers to an electronic shutter, which determines the length of time over which charge is accumulated on the image sensor.
  • Page 20 Using The Control Panel MIPS Back Light Compensation (BLC) Under normal lighting conditions, with the electric Iris control activated, the camera will automatically adjust the image brightness so that all parts of the image are visible. However, when the background illumination is very bright, the shutter speed will automatically be reduced causing the foreground image to become darkened.
