Manual shutter speed adjustment
≥Avoid recording under fluorescent light, mercury 
light or sodium light because the color 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.
≥When recording in an extremely bright place, 
the color of the screen may change or flicker. If 
this happens adjust the shutter speed manually 
to 1/60 or 1/100.
Manual iris/gain adjustment
≥If the value does not become “OPEN”, you 
cannot adjust the gain value.
≥If the gain value is increased, the noise on the 
screen increases.
≥Depending on the zoom magnification, there are 
iris values that are not displayed.
