EXPOSURE
This selection includes several submenus which cover how your
camera handles different lighting conditions and levels.
Shutter
This adjusts the shutter speed from 1/30 to 1/10,000 second (up to
1/50,000 of a second on some models) with the video’s light level
getting darker as the speed increases. In areas which are constantly
brightly lit, you will want to use a faster speed. There is also an
FLK setting to reduce flicker or camera rolling - especially in areas
LENS
This feature is for use on cameras using DC (Defocus Control) lenses. Neither the default setting, Manual, nor the DC setting will have
any effect upon your camera.
illuminated by fluorescent light. The 2x setting is a Digital Slow Shutter (DSS) format which improves the light sensitivity of the camera
by allowing two times the normal amount of light into the camera, extending its usable range in low light conditions.
AGC
AGC, or Automatic Gain Control, is primarily used to increase the brightness of the video image when the area is poorly lit.
Settings range from 0 to 16 with the default being 6. Use of this feature can increase the “noise” in the video signal as the camera
compensates.
Sens-Up
This technology also allows the camera to better use available light in order to provide a clear image. It does so by increasing the time
that the shutter is open in order to gather more light. You can set this between 2x and 10x. The drawback is that motion will become
increasingly blurry and this is specifically recommended against if the camera is being used to capture a license plate or other
identifying detail. Please note that this feature is disabled when the shutter speed (above) is set to anything other than Auto or 1/30.
