IRIS CONTROL:

Pushing the Iris button will switch between Manual Iris and Auto Iris.
Auto Iris will set the camera to automatically adjust the iris depending upon the 

light available within the field of view.

Manual Iris will allow you to adjust the iris.

When in Manual Iris mode, the wheel to the left of the button will control the iris.

Setting the Iris - Zebra Stripes

Zebra stripes appear on areas of the image that are overexposed. In those areas, 

no detail is recorded because the light is too intense.

A picutre is properly exposed when there are no, or very few, zebra striped areas 

in the image.

Do not rely on how the image “looks” in the LCD monitor to determine correct  

exposure because the LCD monitor shows brightness inaccurately. Always use 

zebra stripes.

Push the ZEBRA Button until 

 

ZEBRA2 100% appears in the LCD moni

-

tor.

Now use the dial to close the iris until 

the zebras are nearly gone.
