1AE Mode, Slow Shutter, Shutter Speed

Set the camera???s exposure mode and shutter speed.

AE Mode

Auto

???Auto??? is used to automatically control the exposure.

Flickerless

???Flickerless??? is used to reduce flicker in video caused by some factors, like fluorescent lamps. The shutter speed is automatically adjusted according to the brightness of the shooting environment.

Shutter-priority AE

???Shutter-priority AE??? is used when specifying the shutter speed.

Slow Shutter

Slow Shutter can be set only when ???AE Mode??? is set to ???Auto???.

Select the slowest shutter speed, which is used to capture video in lower light conditions in the ???Auto??? mode. You can select the speed from ???Disable???, ???1/15??? and ???1/8???. Moving subjects may be blurred when captured in low light conditions, so it is important to select the suitable mode according to the shooting condition.

Shutter Speed

Shutter Speed can be set only when ???AE Mode??? is set to ???Shutter-Speed Priority AE???.

You can choose from 12 levels of shutter speed between ???1/8??? and ???1/8000???. It is recommended to specify faster speed when capturing moving subjects, so that the image blur can be reduced.

2Focus Mode

Set the camera???s focus mode.

Auto

???Auto??? is used to automatically obtain correct focus. Normally, select ???Auto???.

Fixed at infinity

The focus is fixed at a point of infinity.

???The above item 1 and 2 are the initial values used at camera startup. The new settings will be applied when the camera is turned on again or the camera is rebooted.

Use the ???Control for Admin??? panel of VB-C60 viewer to configure the settings used in the actual operating environment (??? P.3-21).

???When capturing subjects like traffic lights and electronic signboards, the captured video may be blinking. It may be reduced by changing the exposure mode to ???Auto (Shutter-priority AE)??? and choosing a shutter speed of 1/100 or slower.

2Image Stabilizer

Select whether or not to activate Image Stabilizer from ???Disable???, ???On1??? and ???On2???. Image Stabilizer effectively works to compensate for image blur caused by camera shake. If ???On1??? is not strong enough to correct the image blur, try ???On2???. While Image Stabilizer is being activated with ???On1??? or ???On2???, the viewing angle may be narrower and the image quality may be degraded, comparing with when Image stabilizer is disabled. This is because of the stabilization process, not camera failure.

??? It is recommended to set the image capture size to ???320 x 240??? or smaller, while

???IS does not work to correct vibration of a subject itself.

???Image Stabilizer cannot correct image blur caused by instantaneous shake or large vibration that exceeds a certain level.

Web Pages for Video Distribution

To distribute image data using VB-C60, you need to create a dedicated Web page. The viewer that can be used with VB-C60 is ???VB-C60 Viewer???, which allows you to set detailed parameter settings.

If you select a link requesting video in step 1, a file that includes the IP address information for the VB-C60 is sent from the Web server in step 2. If you are using the VB Viewer, the video is distributed to the viewer PC from the VB-C60 in response to the request in step 3.

???Example of a Web page for video distribution (VB-C60???s built-in page)

The above page is built into VB-C60. It can be accessed from the URL below. http://192.168.100.1/

*The underlined portion is a sample IP address. Use the actual IP address set for the VB-C60 (??? P.1-8).

Save Web Page Data

VB-C60 is equipped with a Flash memory where Web page data can be saved. Data is saved by transferring the data files using FTP. The data is placed as a file under /usr/www/html/local.

???Camera???s setting change may not be available if web pages??? data size is too large. Make sure that the whole web page's data size is less than 3MB if you save the data in the camera's flash memory. In that case, be sure to check the event log after changing settings and check an error in saving setting values (S306, S307) is not displayed. If the error was displayed, delete the web page data and then again configure the settings. For details about the error messages, refer to P.5-11.

Example of Video Distribution using One Global Address

One fixed global address is required if VB-C60 is being used to distribute live videos on the Internet. An Internet service provider (ISP) that offers a single-address fixed global address service can be used. In this case, a router with the NAT function is required.

Example: In this example, the global address 192.168.1.10 assigned by the ISP is used. The local address 192.168.100.2 is set for VB-C60 (and 192.168.100.1 for the router).

In this case, this page cannot be viewed in the VB viewer even when ???http://192.168.100.2/sample/??? is accessed through the Internet. Set ???Global Address for the Web Page??? (??? P.1-28) to 192.168.1.10. Describe the Web pages for distributing video as follows.

Set the VB Viewer description (??? P.4-5) as follows:

<iframe src=???http://192.168.1.10/viewer/live/en/live.html??? scrolling=???no???

width=490 height=500> </iframe>

*The underlined portion is a sample IP address. Enter the actual IP address set for the ???Global

Address for Web Pages??? (??? P.1-8).

??? Contact respective manufacturers for details on setting the router.

Note ??? You need to set for ???Global Address for the Web Page??? (??? P.1-28) to distribute audio.
