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 Global, BLC, HLC, 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 High, Medium, 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.

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.
