Parameter

 

 

Description

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Select the correct exposure mode to achieve the desired exposure effect.

 

 

 

Automatic: The camera automatically adjusts exposure according to the environment.

 

 

 

Custom: The user sets exposure as needed.

Exposure

 

 

Indoor 50Hz: Reduce stripes by limiting shutter frequency.

Mode

 

 

Indoor 60Hz: Reduce stripes by limiting shutter frequency.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Manual: Finetune image quality by setting shutter, gain and iris manually.

 

 

 

Low Motion Blur: Control the minimum shutter to reduce motion blur in faces captured

 

 

 

in motion.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Shutter is used to control the light that comes into the lens. A fast shutter speed is ideal for

 

 

 

scenes in quick motion. A slow shutter speed is ideal for scenes that change slowly.

Shutter (s)

 

 

Note:

 

 

You can set a shutter speed when Exposure Mode is set to Manual or Shutter Priority.

 

 

 

 

 

 

If Slow Shutter is set to Off, the reciprocal of the shutter speed must be greater than the

 

 

 

frame rate.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Control image signals so that the camera outputs standard video signals according to the

Gain (dB)

 

 

light condition.

 

 

Note:

 

 

 

 

 

 

You can set this parameter only when Exposure Mode is set to Manual or Gain Priority.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Improves image brightness in low light conditions.

Slow Shutter

 

 

Note:

 

 

You can set this parameter only when Exposure Mode is not set to Shutter Priority and

 

 

 

 

 

 

when Image Stabilizer is disabled.

 

 

 

 

Slowest

 

 

Set the slowest shutter speed that the camera can use during exposure.

 

 

Note:

Shutter

 

 

 

 

You can set this parameter only when Slow Shutter is set to On.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Adjust the compensation value as required to achieve the desired effects.

Compensation

 

 

Note:

 

 

 

You can set this parameter only when Exposure Mode is not set to Manual.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Set the way the camera measures the intensity of light.

 

 

 

Center-Weighted Average Metering: Measure light mainly in the central part of images.

 

 

 

Evaluative Metering: Measure light in the customized area of images.

Metering

 

 

Highlight compensation: Ignore the brightness of the overexposed area of images. But

 

 

selecting this setting will decrease the overall brightness of the image.

Control

 

 

 

 

Face Metering: Adjust image quality in poor lighting conditions by controlling the

 

 

 

 

 

 

brightness of captured face in Face scene.

 

 

 

Note:

 

 

 

You can set this parameter only when Exposure Mode is not set to Manual.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Automatic: The camera outputs the optimum images according to the light condition. In

Day/Night

 

 

this mode, the camera can switch between night mode and day mode automatically.

Mode

 

 

Night: The camera provides high-quality black and white images using the existing light

 

 

 

Day: The camera provides high-quality color images using the existing light.

 

 

 

Light threshold for switching between day mode and night mode. A higher sensitivity means

Day/Night

 

 

that the camera is more sensitive to the change of light and becomes more easily to switch

Sensitivity

 

 

between day mode and night mode.

 

 

 

Note:

 

20

Parameter

 

Description

 

 

 

 

 

You can set this parameter only when Day/Night Mode is set to Automatic.

 

 

 

 

 

Set the length of time before the camera switches between day mode and night mode after

Day/Night

 

the conditions for switching are met.

Switching(s)

 

Note:

 

 

You can set this parameter only when Day/Night Mode is set to Automatic.

 

 

 

 

 

Enable WDR to distinguish the bright and dark areas in the same image.

WDR

 

Note:

 

You can set this parameter only when Exposure Mode is neither Customize nor Manual and

 

 

 

 

when Image Stabilizer is disabled.

 

 

 

 

 

After enabling the WDR function, you can improve the image by adjusting the WDR level.

WDR Level

 

Note:

 

Use level 7 or higher when there is a high contrast between the bright and dark areas of the

 

 

 

 

scene. In the case of low contrast, it is recommended to disable WDR or use level 1-6.

 

 

 

Suppress WDR

 

When enabled, the camera can automatically adjust slow shutter frequency according to

Stripes

 

the frequency of light to minimize stripes that may appear in images.
