EXPOSURE

EXPOSURE describes the brightness-related parameters. You can adjust the image brightness by the

BRIGHTNESS, EXPOSURE MODE, GAIN, DWDR and ANTI-FLICKER in dierent light conditions.

• BRIGHTNESS: Brightness refers to the brightness of the image. You can set the brightness value from

1 to 10 to darken or brighten the image. The higher the brightness value, the brighter the image.

• EXPOSURE MODE: You can set EXPOSURE mode as GLOBAL or BLC.

— GLOBAL: GLOBAL refers to the normal exposure mode, used when adjusting for unusual lighting

distribution, variations, non-standard processing, or conditions of under exposure to get an

optimum image.

— BLC (Backlight Compensation): BLC compensates light to the object in the front to make it clear,

while compensating for over-exposure of the background where the light is strong. The level can

be adjusted from 0 to 8.

• GAIN: Optimizes the clarity of image in poor light. GAIN level can be set to HIGH, MIDDLE, and LOW.

Select OFF to disable the GAIN function. Noise is amplied when GAIN is on.
