Scene 

 

You can select Indoor, or Outdoor as the working 

environment. 
Indoor:

 

Applicable to the indoor environment whose 

color temperature changes slightly

 

Outdoor:

 

Applicable to the outdoor environment whose 

color temperature changes obviously. 
Shutter 
Shutter denotes the speed of the shutter. 
PAL: AUTO, 1/25 s, 1/50 s, 1/100 s, 1/150 s, 1/200 s, 

1/250 s, 1/500 s, 1/750 s, 1/1k s, 1/2k s, 1/4k s, 1/5k s, 

and 1/10k s are selectable. 
NTSC: AUTO, 1/30 s, 1/60 s, 1/100 s, 1/150 s, 1/200 s, 

1/250 s, 1/500 s, 1/750 s, 1/1k s, 1/2k s, 1/4k s, 1/5k s, 

and 1/10k s are selectable. 
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 value is, the brighter 

the image is. 
Exposure Mode 
You can set the Exposure Mode as GlobalBLCHLC, and 
WDR

 

Global 

Global refers to the normal exposure mode which adjusts 

lighting distribution, variations, and non-standard 

processing. 

 

BLC (Backlight Compensation) 

BLC (Backlight Compensation) compensates light to the 

object in the front to make it clear, but this may cause the 

over-exposure of the background where the light is 

strong. 

When BLC is selected as the exposure mode, the BLC level 

can be adjusted from 0 to 8. 

 

HLC (High Light Compensation) 

HLC (High Light Compensation) masks strong light sources 

that usually flare across a scene. This makes it possible to 

see the detail of the image that would normally be 
hidden. 

 

WDR (Wide Dynamic Range) 

The wide dynamic range helps the camera provide clear 

images even under backlight circumstances. WDR 
balances the brightness level of the whole image and 
provides clear images with details. 
AGC (Automatic Gain Control) 
It optimizes the clarity of the image in poor light 
conditions. The AGC level can be set as HighMedium, or 
Low. Select Off to disable the AGC function. 

Note: 

The noise will be amplified when the AGC is on. 
Slow Shutter 
Slow Shutter increases the exposure time on a signal 

frame, which makes a camera more sensitive to light. 
Therefore, it can produce images even under low lux 
conditions. You can set the Slow Shutter as Off, x2, x4 

under 8 MP@15fps or 8 [email protected] mode, and as Off, 
x2, x4, x6, x8, or x16 under other modes according to 
different light conditions. 

3.3.2

 

WB (White Balance) 

White balance, the white rendition function of the 

camera, is to adjust the color temperature according to 
the environment. It can remove unrealistic color casts in 
the image. You can set WB mode as Auto, or Manual
