Shutter
adjusts the amount of light for the CCD-sensor
independently of the iris setting.
This mode should be selected if lenses with
fixed iris or manual iris setting are used.
Remark
At very bright ambient light (e.g. outdoor use) the shutter setting range may not be sufficient
to achieve a satisfactory video quality. In this case it is recommended to use a lens with
automatic iris control (DC or videosignal controlled).
If pictures are taken with short shutter speed settings intensity level variations may occur.
Pictures taken at artificial light (particularly at fluorescent light) may flicker.
Flare (bright horizontal or vertical lines) may occur in the picture.
If manually controlled lenses are used, problems with the depth of field may occur due to the
fixed iris setting. The depth of field decreases particularly if the iris is opened completely.
This could lead to parts of the picture being out of focus.
SW2
off: Flickerfree mode off
FF
SW3
on: The picture background may look over-
BLC
exposed if the BLC function is activated, parti-
cularly if the object in the foreground is too
small compared to the overall picture (< 40%).
Remark
The iris control is derived from the area at the picture center.
The iris is opened if the picture edges are brighter than the center.
The iris is closed if the picture edges are darker than the center.
