(factory default setting).
 [Strong]: Select this when visibility in dark areas of 
the scene is a priority.
(5) [Haze Compensation Strength (Auto)]
Select [Mild], [Medium], or [Strong] for the haze 
compensation strength when [Haze Compensation] 
(p. 57) is set to [Auto].
Important
 The initial camera settings (1) to (11) define the defaults that 
apply when the camera is started. Setting changes will be 
reflected only after the camera is reconnected or rebooted. 
Specify the settings used in the actual operating environment 
from the Admin Viewer (p. 151).
 If the subject is a traffic signal or electronic scoreboard, etc., 
the captured image may flicker. 
In this case, try changing the [AE Mode] setting to [Auto 
(Shutter-priority AE)] and selecting a shutter speed lower 
than 1/100 to see if the problem improves.
 Setting a slow shutter speed may make it impossible for 
intelligent functions to work correctly. Select a shutter speed 
that suits the capture conditions and purpose.
  In conditions where an outdoor scene is 
captured from an indoor location through a glass window, the 
camera may focus on the glass surface if there is dust or 
water there. Install the camera at the shortest possible 
distance from the glass surface. 
 [Smart Shade Control] cannot be used if [Haze 
Compensation] is set to [Auto] or [Manual].
 [Haze Compensation] cannot be used if [Smart Shade 
Control] is set to [Auto] or [Manual].
