Parameter
Description
You can set this parameter only when Exposure Mode is not set to Shutter Priority and
when Image Stabilizer is disabled.
Slowest
Shutter
Set the slowest shutter speed that the camera can use during exposure.
Note:
You can set this parameter only when Slow Shutter is set to On.
Compensation
Adjust the compensation value as required to achieve the desired effects.
Note:
You can set this parameter only when Exposure Mode is not set to Manual.
Metering
Control
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.
Highlight compensation: Ignore the brightness of the overexposed area of images. But
selecting this setting will decrease the overall brightness of the image.
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.
Day/Night
Mode
Automatic: The camera outputs the optimum images according to the light condition. In
this mode, the camera can switch between night mode and day mode automatically.
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.
Day/Night
Sensitivity
Light threshold for switching between day mode and night mode. A higher sensitivity means
that the camera is more sensitive to the change of light and becomes more easily to switch
between day mode and night mode.
Note:
You can set this parameter only when Day/Night Mode is set to Automatic.
Day/Night
Switching(s)
Set the length of time before the camera switches between day mode and night mode after
the conditions for switching are met.
Note:
You can set this parameter only when Day/Night Mode is set to Automatic.
WDR
Enable WDR to distinguish the bright and dark areas in the same image.
Note:
You can set this parameter only when Exposure Mode is neither Customize nor Manual and
when Image Stabilizer is disabled.
WDR Level
After enabling the WDR function, you can improve the image by adjusting the 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
Stripes
When enabled, the camera can automatically adjust slow shutter frequency according to
the frequency of light to minimize stripes that may appear in images.
