EXPOSURE

Exposure describes the brightness-related parameters, which can be adjusted by EXPOSURE MODE, and

AGC.

EXPOSURE menu

EXPOSURE MODE

You can set the EXPOSURE MODE as GLOBAL, BLC, and DWDR.

GLOBAL: Refers to the normal exposure mode which performs exposure according to the brightness of the

entire image.

BLC (Backlight Compensation): BLC adjusts the brightness for the front objects when the background is

bright. This may cause the overexposure of the background.

WDR (Wide Dynamic Range): DWDR helps the camera provide clear images even under backlight

circumstances. When both very bright and very dark areas simultaneously exist in the image, WDR

balances the brightness level of the whole image and provides clear images with details.

AGC (Automatic Gain Control): Optimizes the clarity of the image in poor light conditions. The AGC level can

be set to HIGH, MEDIUM or LOW.

Note: Noise is amplied when increasing the AGC level. The higher the level is, the more obvious

the noise is.

SLOW SHUTTER: SLOW SHUTTER increases the exposure time on a single frame, which makes a camera

more sensitive to the light so it can produce images even in low lux conditions.

You can set the SLOW SHUTTER function as OFF, x2, x4, x6, x8, x10, x12, x14, or x16 for dierent light

conditions.

VIDEO SETTINGS
