Image Enhancement
The image enhancement properties allow for adjustments and fine control of the cameras perfor-
mance including video enhancement, detail enhancement and exposure enhancement.
Enabling video enhancement will attempt to adjust the amount of detail and gain for both the shadows
and highlights of the image. This can result in a dramatically more balanced image. However, caution
should be exercised as extreme settings can result in increased video noise in the shadows of the im-
age.
Brightness
Adjusts the level of enhancement provided by the Video Enhancement function. A higher amount will
result in more vivid images and more sensitivity in the shadows but can increase video noise produced
by the camera.
Brightness Compensation
This setting informs the camera where your desired level of enhancement should be focused. If your
image has large amounts of dark areas that need to be enhanced then set Brightness Compensation to
Dark. If your image appears over exposed, set Brightness Compensation to Light.
Compensation Level
Adjusts the mask area for the camera to apply the Video Enhancement effect. By increasing the value
from low to high, the camera will attempt to adjust a greater amount of the shadow or highlight area of
the image.
