5.4 Changing Basic Camera Settings
The [Camera] page of the [Setup] tab allows you to adjust basic camera features.
1.
Click the [Setup] tab.
2.
On the left side of the screen under [Basic], click [Camera].
3.
Set the following parameters as desired.
a.
Under [AC Power Source Frequency], select the desired setting.
[Auto]: The power source frequency is selected automatically.
[50 Hz]: Select this item if your AC power source operates at 50 Hz.
[60 Hz]: Select this item if your AC power source operates at 60 Hz.
b.
Under [Automatic Focus Range], select [Normal] when viewing objects that are 1 m from the camera, or select [Macro] when viewing objects that are within 1 m of the camera.
When positioning the camera in front of a window to view images on the other side of the window, select [Normal].
c.
Under [Mounting Type], select the setting that matches the location where the camera is installed.
When [On the ceiling] is selected, the available tilt range is 0 to +90 degrees.
When [On the table] is selected, the available tilt range is -120 to 0 degrees.
d.
Under [Return to Specified Position], select whether you want the camera to move the lens to a specific preset position after a specified period of inactivity.
i.
Select the length of time (inactivity) that passes before the camera moves the lens. If this setting is too short, you may have difficulty registering presets because the lens will return to the specified position before you have saved your new preset.
ii.
Select the desired preset position (see 1.2.9 Registering and Changing Presets).
e.
Under [Shutter Speed/Color Night View], select whether the camera’s shutter speed is fixed, or whether the color night view mode feature automatically adjusts the shutter speed when the camera image is dark.
i.
To set the shutter speed, select [Shutter Speed], then select the desired speed from the pull-down menu.
Note that when the shutter speed is faster, flicker noise may be seen depending on the light source. This is not a malfunction.
ii.
To enable the color night view mode feature, select [Color Night View].
When the camera image becomes dark (e.g., when the lights in a room are turned off), the shutter speed is reduced.
The shutter speed is 1/30 s.
This feature is disabled by default.
Note that when this feature is activated:
Refresh rate decreases and images become blurry when the object is moving.
White or colored dots or horizontal lines may be displayed in the camera image. This is a characteristic of the camera’s image sensor, and is not a malfunction.
Note
If the shutter speed is set to 1/250 s or higher, image color may change periodically depending on the light source. In this case, make sure the [AC Power Source Frequency] setting is appropriate for your country/area (see 5.4 Changing Basic Camera Settings), and if the issue is not resolved, set the shutter speed to 1/100 s or lower.
