Current Date and Time [Date], [Time] The date and time currently set in the camera are shown. Setting (1) [Setting Method] Select from [Set manually], [Synchronize with NTP server], [Synchronize with NTP broadcast], [Synchronize with computer time]. (2) [Date], [Time] Set the following according to the selection made in [Setting Method]. [Set manually] Set the desired date and time. The date is set by , and the time in 24-hour format in the order (two digits for month, day and time). Example: To specify 1:23:04 pm, 23 August 2012, enter “2012/08/23” and “13:23:04”. [Synchronize with NTP server] The camera will synchronize with the NTP server time. If [Auto-Setting of NTP Server] is enabled, camera time is automatically synchronized with the time of the NTP server at the address obtained from the DHCP server. In order to enable this setting, you must change [Network] > [IPv4 Address Setting Method] to [Auto (DHCP)] (p. 47). To select a particular NTP server, disable [Auto- Setting of NTP Server], and then enter the IP address or host name of the NTP server in [NTP Server]. [Synchronize with NTP broadcast] The camera will synchronize with the NTP server time. The camera will synchronize time with NTP broadcasts received from the NTP server. [Synchronize with computer time] The camera will synchronize with the date and time of the computer currently accessing the camera. The time zone will also be selected automatically. (3) [Time Zone] Select from the list the appropriate time difference from the Greenwich Mean Time. (4) [Daylight Saving Time] Select [Enable] to automatically adjust the daylight saving time according to the time zone or [Disable] not to automatically adjust the daylight saving time. Note • If [Synchronize with computer time] is selected, after clicking [Apply], [Setting Method] will change to [Set manually]. • If [Synchronize with computer time] is selected, the city at the top of the list in the same time zone offset is selected. If the wrong time zone is selected, set the correct time zone manually. • If [Synchronize with NTP server] is selected and the IP address of the NTP server is incorrect or a connection with the NTP server cannot otherwise be established, the date and time will not be changed. • The camera's NTP broadcast mode does not support IPv6. • If the [Time Zone] setting is changed, the date and time display will update automatically according to the specified time zone. [Camera] Setting Initial Camera Settings and External Device Name The following can be set here. • Camera Name Enter the name of the camera. The camera name is required for use with RM-Lite. • Initial Camera Settings Sets shooting settings at camera start up. • Camera Control Set the digital zoom, image stabilizer and AGC limit. •Day/Night Set the day/night switching mode. • Installation Conditions Sets installation conditions, such as LED settings. • Camera Position Control Set whether or not to limit the pan, tilt and zoom operations to the preset positions. Also, set the camera position when nobody has control privileges. • External Device Name Set the external input device name and external output device name. Camera Name [Camera Name] Be sure to enter [Camera Name (alphanumeric characters)]. Up to 15 ASCII characters (spaces and printable characters) may be used for [Camera Name (alphanumeric characters)]. Note • The camera name set here will be shown when the camera is registered for use with included RM-Lite. Initial Camera Settings (1) [AE Mode], [Slow Shutter], [Shutter Speed] Set the exposure control and shutter speed for the camera startup. [AE Mode] [Auto] The exposure is controlled automatically. [Auto (Flickerless)] In this mode, image flickers caused by fluorescent lights, etc., can be reduced. The shutter speed is automatically adjusted according to the brightness of the environment in which the camera is used. [Auto (Shutter-priority AE)] In this mode, a desired shutter speed can be specified. [Slow Shutter] Slow shutter can be used only if [Auto] is selected in [AE Mode]. Set the maximum slow shutter time to be used when in auto exposure mode when capturing video in a dark place. Select [Disable], [1/15], [1/8], [1/4] or [1/2]. As slower shutter speed generates residual images when capturing a moving subject, select an appropriate time according to the capture conditions. [Shutter Speed] Shutter speed can be used only if [Auto (Shutter-priority AE)] is selected in [AE Mode]. Select a desired shutter speed from the 16 levels from [1/2] to [1/16000]. When capturing a moving subject, selecting a higher shutter speed can reduce blurry image capture. (2) [Exposure Compensation] The exposure compensation when the camera starts can be set in the range of [-4 (Dark)] to [4 (Bright)]. To brighten the image, set a positive value. To darken the image, set a negative value. (3) [Metering Mode] Set the metering mode when the camera starts. [Center-Weighted] The entire...
