The AUTO and MANUAL buttons he is showing in his post are for the timing (LED ON). There are separate AUTO and MANUAL buttons for brightness (LED brightness adjustment).
The Timing button is not necessary with AUTO checked. Per page 52 of the manual, "Auto: The LED will be turned on according to the environment illumination."

I have 2 new DS-2CD2432F-IW cube cameras which I have set up on my network. I have another of the same camera with 5.2.5 firmware which is set up and has worked fine with a 64GB card for a year or so. My problem with the new cameras is that when I install a SanDisk Ultra 64GB card, the audible...
I, too, have this setup and am using SanDisk 64 cards in my 3 cameras (64 Gb is the upper limit for the 5.2.5 firmware). They all work great. I would add that you should feel a slight click when the card is inserted correctly. The first one I did was not recognized, and it was because I hadn't...
