Adjusting Iris Settings
Normally, the brightness of a picture is controlled by
the camera's auto gain and the auto/manual iris
functions. The Iris Control keys allow you to
manually adjust the brightness or darkness of an
image. These keys are located to the right of the
numeric keypad, next to the camera key.
