	Gain Mode......		Gain increases as light decreases up to the value defined by Limit in the Gain Setup submenu. The dynamic range is not decreased as gain increases, the signal and noise are both amplified. The higher the gain, the noisier the image. In Gain Mode there is no motion blurring.
	Slow Shutter Mode......		The camera uses a combination of increasing Gain and slowing the shutter speed to compensate for decreased light levels. Set the Shutter Speed limit to x2, x4, x8, x16, x32. “x2” means the shutter speed is half the normal rate. For example, if the shutter speed is 1/60, the x2 setting will reduce the shutter speed to 1/30. Slowing the shutter speed can improve the image, but motion blurring can occur.
Advanced Setup
Zone Exposure......			Many installations include multiple light sources or unusual lighting conditions. The camera can uses meter zones to manage the image. A light or color reference can be set which forces the camera to adjust the rest of the image based on that reference.
Meter Mode......	Foreground / Background......		Selects either the Foreground or Background for metering exposure, white balance, and dynamic range. In foreground mode, the camera analyzes both brightness and color elements in the meter zone, then it adjust these elements throughout the entire image. In background mode, the camera analyzes the light levels in the meter zone, then it enhances the detail for backlight objects that would otherwise appear as silhouettes.
