The Shutter Speed menu is used to scroll through the various speed options on
the camera’s automatic shutter (default setting is automatic). As with all electronic
shutters, higher speeds reduce light sensitivity without affecting the optical depth
of field, as opposed to an iris adjustment.
The shutter speed can be selected for auto-exposure with digital slow shutter
(DSS) or auto exposure with shutter priority. They function as follows:
• Auto-exposure with digital slow shutter: This mode automatically, and
continuously, adjusts the shutter speed down to its slowest setting under
low light conditions. The actual selected setting will be prefixed with an
AUTO. This setting is the minimum digital slow shutter. The operator may
select the slowest setting to prevent the digital slow shutter from operating
while still maintaining auto-exposure. DSS is not available if Image
Stabilization is ON.
• Auto-exposure with shutter priority: This mode allows auto exposure to
operate under the fixed shutter settings selection. These settings have no
prefix. The following are the available speeds:

The Auto Gain Control sub-menu allows adjustment of Maximum AGC Tuning
Value, another sliding scale adjustment. This selects the relative effect of the
Automatic Gain Control (AGC). Higher settings increase light sensitivity but boost
noise as well.
The V Phase Adjust screen is designed to synchronize the vertical phase of the
camera (relative position in time when the camera starts to scan the image) with
other cameras in a system. When two cameras are synchronized, there is no
picture “roll” when switching from one camera to another. This adjustment is also a
sliding scale, from 0
o
to 360
o
. When set to 360
o
, the camera will be locked to an
internal crystal (default).
