Video Bitrate:

 You can set the bitrate for video. High bitrate may 

improve the quality and smoothness of the video, especially when

mode may decrease the amount of recording time available on your 
memory card. Using low bitrate will save space and record for longer 
time.

brightest portion of the image to the darkest portion of the image. 
WDR enables the camera to deliver video with near perfect exposure

 Adjusting the value of the EV 

(Exposure Value) properly can create better footage under different 
light sources. It ranges from -2.0 to +2.0. You can adjust the EV for 
front and rear camera separately. Default is set at 0.0.
