Super Dynamic function
When there is wide variation between the illumination of light and dark areas of the location being monitored,
the camera adjusts the lens iris in accordance with the brighter areas. This causes loss of detail in darker areas.
Conversely, adjusting the lens brightness for the darker areas causes the brighter areas to become washed
out.
Super Dynamic digitally combines an image that is set up for a clear view of the brighter areas with an image
that is set up for a clear view of the darker areas, creating a final image that preserves overall detail.
A. Subject in the dark
area is hard to notice...
B. Subject in the bright
