3. Plug the connector from the lens into the auto iris jack on the back of the
camera. The connector is polarized and can only be inserted into the jack
one way.
4. The E/I switch should be in the “OFF” position.
5. The A/I switch should be in the “VID” position.
6. Apply power to the camera.
7. Adjust the focus ring on the lens for an optimum picture. If a picture is not
visible, set the lens for proper exposure by adjusting the ALC (Automatic
Level Control) and the level on the lens. The ALC setting can range
between AVG (average) or PK (peak). A midrange setting is appropriate
for most applications.
For ALC adjustments:
AVG
To slow the reaction of the lens to changing light, set the range to
the AVG setting to average the video level from the camera. Use
when there are bright spots in the picture such as lights or glare
from the sun.
PK
To increase the speed of the lens reaction to the changing light,
set the lens adjustment to PK so the lens will adjust to the
brightest or peak object in the video. Use this setting if you want
to see the brightest object and not the background objects.
For Level adjustments:
Adjust the level control for the best picture during the day. A night
adjustment may not provide the proper setting for controlling the light
during the day.
8. Set the back focus of the camera before the final adjustment of the video
level.
9. If the auto iris has a gain adjustment and the picture oscillates between
open and closed under bright lights, slowly turn the gain adjustment
counter clockwise until the oscillating stops. Increase the light getting to
the camera by adjusting the level control and re-adjusting the gain control.
