Figure 88: Auto Exposure Mode Settings

Continue to configure the other settings in the Exposure section:

 Exposure Value – This is a number that represents a combination of a camera's shutter speed

and f-number, which brightens or darkens the scene accordingly. Select from the following

options: -2, -5/3, -4/3, -1, -2/3, -1/3, 0, 1/3, 2/3, 1, 4/3, 5/3, or 2. The higher the number, the

brighter the image. The default setting is 0.

 Backlight Compensation – In images where a bright light source is behind the subject of interest,

the subject would normally appear in silhouette. The backlight function of the camera allows it to

adjust the exposure of the entire image to properly expose the subject in the foreground. From

the drop-down list, select one of the following options for the backlight compensation: OFF,

Upper 2/3rd, Lower 2/3rd, Central 1/3

, Central 1/6

, Left, Right, or OFF (default setting). The

settings are as follows:

 Highlight Compensation – This setting masks bright light sources that are directed at the

camera. Select ON or OFF (default setting).

 Digital WDR – This function improves the image quality and amount of details in high contrast

scenes. Such scenes combine areas with different lighting conditions, where some areas are

very bright and others are dark. If this function was not used, the image either would be

overexposed or too bright in bright areas and completely dark in dark areas. Digital WDR helps

to improve image quality by producing a larger amount of details in both the dark and bright

areas of the image.
