- (E) -Intelligent functionsWhen using the camera in outdoor environments, the brightness and color temperature willdiffer significantly as the day progresses from the morning to the afternoon, to the eveningto night. The camera’s intelligent functions serve to automatically correct the video leveland color temperature to compensate for the changes taking place outdoors.In outdoor environments, the brightness changes significantly, by a factor of 10 to thepower of 6, from 0.01 lux under a crescent moon to 10,000 lux under a clear sky.Similarly, there is a considerable change of 5000K in the color temperature from 000Kafter sunrise to 8000K under a clear, bright sky.In the past, the gain, lens iris, ND filter, and minus gain were supported as video levelsadjustments, whereas manual gain adjustments and manual CC filter settings weresupported as color temperature adjustments.However, the problem with the user having to make these adjustments manually eachtime was that there was not enough time to select the optimum adjustments when asudden emergency situation such as an earthquake arose, with the result that shootingopportunities were lost.Now, using the intelligent functions, this kind of problem has been solved.1000001000010001001100.10.01 3000500070009000Automatic video leveladjustment methodAutomatic color temperatureadjustment method• Clear sky• Cloudy sky• Evening• Moonlight• CrescentmoonMinus gain setting variableND filter setting variableLens iris adjustmentGain setting variable• Bright, cloudy sky• Cloudy sky• Daylightfluorescent light• hours aftersunrise• 1 hour aftersunrise5600 ON, RBgain adjustment5600 OFF, RBgain adjustment• MiddayBrightness(lux) Type of lightcondition Colortemperature(K) of lightType of lightcondition
