The exposure is the amount of light received by the image sensor and is determined by the width of lens diaphragm opening, the amount of exposure by the sensor (shutter speed) and other exposure parameters. With this item, users can define how the Auto Exposure function works.

Each exposure mode is specified as follows:

Full Auto Mode

In this mode, the camera's Shutter Speed, IRIS and AGC (Auto Gain Control) control circuits work together automatically to get consistent video output level. The shutter speed range is from 1 to 1/8 sec. with 4 options. Users could select suitable shutter speed according to the environmental illuminance.

Fixed Shutter Mode

In this mode, fixed shutter speed could be selected from the dropdown menu. The shutter speed range is from 1/10000 to 1 sec. with 19 options. Users could select suitable shutter speed according to the environmental illumination.

4.5.2 White Balance Setting

The White Balance pull-down menu is shown as follows:

A camera needs to find reference color temperature, which is a way of measuring the quality of a light source, for calculating all the other colors. The unit for measuring this ratio is in degree Kelvin (K). Users can select one of the White Balance Control modes according to the operating environment. The following table shows the color temperature of some light sources for reference.

Light Sources Color	Temperature in K
Cloudy Sky 6,000 to 8,000
Noon Sun and Clear Sky 6	500
Household Lighting 2,500 to 3,000
75-watt Bulb 2,820
Candle Flame 1,200 to 1,500

Auto Mode

The Auto Balance White mode is suitable for environment with light source having color temperature in the range roughly from 2700 \~ 8000K.

ATW Mode (Auto Tracking White Balance)

With Auto Tracking White Balance function, the white balance in a scene will be automatically adjusted while temperature color is changing. The ATW Mode is suitable for environment with light source having color temperature in the range roughly from 2450 \~ 10500K.

Manual Mode

In this mode, users can change the White Balance value manually. Users can select a number between 0 \~127 of "Rgain/ Bgain" item to gain the red/blue illuminant on the Live Video Pane. Press to confirm the new setting.
