iris lens. Be aware that flicker may occur when a subject is under fluorescent lighting.

Backlight compensation

• If a subject has a bright light such as a spotlight in its background, the subject appears
shadowy because the camera adjusts the iris in accordance with the bright area.
• To eliminate this phenomenon, masking bright areas allows users to perform backlight
compensation to hide bright areas.
• Backlight compensation has two modes: One is the PRESET ON mode for automatic com-
pensation after sensing the light conditions on the camera side, the other is PRESET OFF
mode for specifying the sensing area manually.
