Light conditions

The camera image is adjusted automatically

according to prevailing light conditions. Because

of this, the image may vary slightly in brightness

and quality. Poor light conditions can result in a

slightly reduced image quality.

NOTE

Keep the camera lens clear of dirt, snow and

ice to ensure optimum function. This is partic-

ularly important in poor light.
