AE (Auto Exposure)

AE describes the brightness-related parameters. You can adjust the image brightness by the BRIGHTNESS,

EXPOSURE MODE, and GAIN 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 AE mode as GLOBAL, BLC, and WDR.

www.observint.com

— 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.

— WDR (Wide Dynamic Range): The wide dynamic range (WDR) function helps the camera

provide clear images even under back light circumstances. WDR balances the brightness level of

the whole image and provide clear images with details.

• 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.

WB (White Balance)

White balance is the white rendition function of the camera to adjust the color temperature according to

the environment. It can remove unrealistic color casts in the image. You can set WB mode as either ATW

or MWB.

• ATW: In ATW mode, white balance is adjusted automatically according to the color temperature of the

scene illumination.

• MWB: In MWB mode, you can set the R GAIN/B GAIN value from 0 to 255 to adjust the shades of red/

blue color of the image.
