Highlight Compensation Menu (HLC)

LEVEL:

 Sets when highlights will be masked. The lower the value, the lower the 

required luminance value will be for the camera to mask it, and thus the more 
areas of the screen will be masked. 

MODE:

 You can choose when HLC will be active. 

ALL DAY

 will leave HLC on 

at all times, whereas selecting 

NIGHT ONLY

 will leave highlights during the day 

unaffected - this is a good option if you’re looking to mask, for example, car 
headlights or an inconveniently placed street lamp.
