Photo and Video Settings Menus Page 1/5
The first page in Photo and Video modes includes settings which control qual
-
ities of the image including Brightness, Exposure, White Balance, and High
Dynamic Range (HDR).
The Brightness setting can only be used when the Exposure mode is
set to Auto. Since Auto Exposure attempts to render an average mid
-
dle-grey exposure, Brightness will increase the exposure target incre
-
mentally using values from 1 to 24.
Exposure controls the amount of light gathered to form an image.
Auto mode continuously uses an average of the levels seen across the
field of view, and attempts to achieve a middle grey. Single Auto mode
performs the same function as Auto, but only at the time it is selected
rather than continuously. Manual allows you to select a value from 1 to
10 to manually target the appropriate level.
White Balance is used to compensate for color casts caused by various
light sources. Auto mode attempts to compensate for detected color
biases to render a more neutral image. Standard mode uses a pre
-
defined color temperature as the neutral target. Manual mode allows
you to adjust each primary color (red, green, blue) independently using
values from 1 to 128.
HDR (High Dynamic Range) compresses exposure values across the im
-
age to limit excess highlights and shadows. This setting can be toggled
on or off.
