• If it is set in the Admin Viewer, the same focus mode will
occur in the viewers of other users also.

(P. 7-15) will disable the [Auto] (VB-M40 only) and [One-shot
AF] focus modes in camera control. Switch the focus to
[Manual] and adjust it to your subject.

• Changes to focus mode in the Admin Viewer will not be
reflected in the settings on the setting page.
• Note that if you set the focus manually it will remain fixed.
• Use focus operations in the Admin Viewer for temporarily
checking subjects at other focal points. To fix a long-term
focal point, use the Camera Angle Setting Tool.

Setting the Exposure

1 Exposure Mode
Select from [Auto], [Manual], [Auto (Flickerless)] or
[Auto (Shutter-priority AE)].
If [Auto] is selected for [Day/Night] under [Camera] in
the Setting page (P. 5-11), select [Auto], [Auto
(Flickerless)] or [Auto (Shutter-priority AE)].
For an explanation on each item set in the exposure
mode, see the setting page (P. 5-9).
2 [Exposure Compensation]
When [Auto], [Auto (Flickerless)] or [Auto (Shutter-
priority AE)] is selected for the exposure mode, the
exposure compensation value desired can be selected
from seven levels (-3 to +3) using the applicable
button.
To darken the image, select a negative value. To
brighten the image, select a positive value.
3 [Metering Mode]
When [Auto], [Auto (Flickerless)] or [Auto (Shutter-
priority AE)] is selected for the exposure mode, the
metering mode can be selected from [Center-
Weighted], [Average] or [Spot].
[Center-Weighted]
The entire screen is metered by focusing on the
center of the screen.
Even when slightly darker/brighter areas are present
on the periphery of the screen, an appropriate
exposure can be achieved for the subject near the
center.
Use this mode if the subject is positioned near the
center of the screen.
[Average]
The entire screen is metered by averaging.
A stable exposure can be achieved even in a
capture environment where there are notable
brightness differences within the screen.
Use this mode to stabilize the exposure in locations
where vehicles or people are moving.
