Manual shutter
Use this list to adjust the shutter speed. Decreasing this value causes the camera sensor to pick
up less light, but reduces motion blur.
Actual iris
Shows the actual aperture size of the lens (iris) with the selected exposure mode.
Manual iris
Use this slider to adjust the iris. Increasing this value reduces the amount of light reaching the
sensor of the camera, but increases the depth of field of the image.
Actual gain
Shows the current amount of gain with the selected exposure mode.
Maximum auto gain
Use this slider to adjust the maximum gain that can be used by the camera. A higher gain level
results in more noise in the image.
Manual gain
Use this slider to adjust the gain. Increasing the gain results in a brighter picture but also
produces more picture noise.
Manual brightness
Aided by the visual feedback from the camera view, use this slider to adjust the gain and iris
values in one go. The Actual gain and Actual iris values are updated as you move the slider.
EV compensation
Use this function to compensate the exposure value (EV).
Selecting a positive value produces a brighter picture but it may cause overexposure. You
can also consider using the Highlight correction function to get more brightness.
Selecting a selecting a negative value produces a darker picture but it may cause
underexposure. You can also consider using the Wide dynamic range function to get more
darkness.
Wide dynamic range
The wide dynamic range (WDR) function helps the camera provide clear images when there are
both very bright and very dark areas simultaneously in the field of view. WDR balances the
brightness level of the whole image to provide clear images with details. To prevent the loss of
scene details, bright areas are not saturated and dark areas are not too dark.
Wide dynamic range mode
Use this function to select the wide dynamic range mode:
Multi exposure
The camera makes multiple exposures for the same image. Brighter areas of the image will
be captured using shorter exposure times and darker areas of the same image will be
captured using longer exposure times. This option will result in an excellent wide dynamic
range, but possibly with some 'ghosting' for fast-moving objects.
DWDR
The camera makes only one exposure for each image and will digitally compensate for
brighter and darker areas of the image.
