BLC Control:
Back Light Compensation control. This adjusts the exposure of scenes with strong
backlight in the center-bottom of the image. When the image background is too bright or the
subject is too dark, backlight compensation makes the subject appear clearer. The settings for
low light behavior determine how the camera behaves at low light levels. These settings affect
video image quality and how much noise is in the images. This can be set to ADAPTIVE to control
on the fly, ZONE to control a certain zone, or OFF.
