Using the On-Screen Display (OSD) Menu
To configure white balance settings:
1. Use the on-screen arrow keys to navigate to CAMERA SETTING and click Enter.
2. Select WB SETTING and click Enter.
3. Under WB MODE, click the left / right arrow keys to select one of the following options
based on the camera’s environment:
• AUTO: The camera adjusts white balance automatically.
• ATW: The camera adjusts white balance automatically for various color
temperatures.
• INDOOR: Recommended for most indoor installations.
• OUTDOOR: Recommended for outdoor installations.
• OUTDOOR AUTO: Recommended for outdoor installations — white balance is adjusted automatically for outdoor lighting conditions.
• NA LAMP: Recommended for environments with natural lighting.
• NA LAMP AUTO: Recommended for environments with natural lighting — white
balance is adjusted automatically for natural lighting conditions.
• MANUAL: This mode allows you to configure the R GAIN (red) and B GAIN (blue)
values to achieve proper white balance.
1.3.2 Exposure Mode
The exposure mode settings allow you to configure the concentration of light used to produce an image. You can configure a custom exposure or let the camera determine the exposure automatically.
#LX400027; r. 1.0/16996/16996; en-US

Using the On-Screen Display (OSD) Menu
To configure the camera’s exposure mode:
1. Use the on-screen arrow keys to navigate to CAMERA SETTING and click Enter.
2. Select EXPOSURE SETTING and click Enter.
3. Under AE MODE, click the left / right arrow keys to select one of the following exposure
modes:

• SHUTTER PRIORITY: Configure shutter settings only. Gain and iris settings are determined automatically by the software.
• MANUAL: Advanced users only — this mode requires you to configure the settings
for gain, iris, and shutter to achieve proper exposure.
4. Under GAIN SETTING, click the left / right arrow keys to set the gain value (1–16). Setting the gain manually allows you to artificially create a brighter (high gain) or darker
(low gain) image. The AE MODE must be set to MANUAL to configure the gain value.
5. Under SHUTTER, click the left / right arrow keys to set the shutter speed (1/4 – 1/
30,000). Setting the shutter speed manually determines how long the camera shutter
remains open when capturing an image. It is recommended to keep shutter speed set
to 1/60 to ensure smooth video. The AE MODE must be set to MANUAL or SHUTTER
PRIO to configure the shutter speed.
6. Under IRIS, click the left / right arrow keys to adjust the iris (1–18). Setting the iris manually determines how much light comes through the lens. The AE MODE must be set
to MANUAL or IRIS PRIO to configure the iris setting.
1.3.3 Exposure Compensation
Use exposure compensation to fine-tune the camera’s exposure. You can use exposure
compensation with automatic exposure to brighten or darken an image to your preference.

Select NEXT PAGE and click Enter.
Under AGC GAIN LIMIT, click the left / right arrow keys to set the high limit for the camera’s automatic gain control (1–3). It is recommended to set the gain limit at 3. Use a
lower setting to reduce noise in the camera image.
1.3.7 2D & 3D Digital Noise Reduction
The camera features 2 types of noise reduction: 2D temporal noise reduction (NR in the
OSD menu) and 3D spatial noise reduction (CAMERA 3D NR). 2D noise reduction helps
to limit the appearance of noise (graininess in the camera image) around stationary objects. 3D noise reduction accomplishes the same process for moving objects as well, providing clearer images in low light conditions. Removing noise from the camera image
reduces your recording file size and makes videos clearer and more detailed.
To configure noise reduction:
1. Use the on-screen arrow keys to navigate to CAMERA SETTING and click Enter.
2. Select EXPOSURE SETTING and click Enter.
3. Select NEXT PAGE and click Enter.

4. Under NR, click the left / right arrow keys to set the 2D noise reduction level (1–16). It
is recommended to keep the 2D noise reduction at the default level of 8 unless the
camera image is noisey in low-light conditions.
5. Under CAMERA 3D NR, click the left / right arrow keys to set the 3D noise reduction
level (1–16). It is recommended to keep the 3D noise reduction at the default level of 8
unless the camera image is noisey in low-light conditions.
1.3.8 High Light Reduction (HLR)

To enable HLR:
1. Use the on-screen arrow keys to navigate to CAMERA SETTING and click Enter.

• LOW: The brightness of highlighted areas is slightly reduced.
• OFF: HLR is turned off.
1.3.9 Auto Exposure Recovery
Changing the camera’s iris setting through the DVR menu takes priority over the exposure
settings in the OSD menu. Turning on Auto Exposure Recovery (AER) will reset the camera’s iris to the setting specified in the OSD menu after a period of time.
To enable AER:
1. Use the on-screen arrow keys to navigate to CAMERA SETTING and click Enter.

• AUTO: The camera switches between day and night mode automatically with
changing light conditions (recommended).
• DAY: The camera remains in full color. This setting is not recommended unless the
camera is in an area with constant lighting.
• NIGHT: The camera remains in black & white. This setting is not recommended unless the camera is in a constantly dark environment.
4. Under TYPE, click the left / right arrow keys to select one of the following options:
• ELECTRON: Day / night switch-over is determined by camera software. This is recommended if the camera switches its viewing mode at around the same time every
day (for example, sunset or sunrise in an outdoor location).
• MECHANISM: Day / night switch-over is determined by a light filter. This is recommended if the camera is in a location with fluctuating light conditions (for example,
indoors with lights turning on and off throughout the day).
5. Under THRESHOLD, click the left / right arrow keys to set the conditions for day / night
switch-over. Select a number between 1 (switch-over in brighter conditions) and 8

4. Under FOCUS LIMIT, click the left / right arrow keys to set the focus limit. Set the focus
limit between 10CM and 5M to only perform auto-focus on objects further out than the
focus limit (for example, a focus limit of 1M means that the camera will focus on objects
further than a metre away), or select AUTO to auto-focus on all objects regardless of
their distance from the camera.
