BLC Area
In the BLC Area drop down list you can set which area of the camera's image the
back light compensation is applied to. You can set the area to Top, Left, Down, Right
or Centre.
Shutter
The shutter mode controls the camera's iris. When set to Auto the iris will adjust to
changing light levels by opening and closing automatically to take in the optimum
amount of light. When set to
Manual the iris will be fixed at its current position then
the Exposure Time can be used to set the shutter speed.
Exposure Time
The exposure time is the shutter speed of the camera which controls how long the
image sensor is exposed to light. It is measured in fractions of a second with 1/5 of a
second being the slowest time and 1/20000 of a second being the fastest time.
When the Shutter Mode is set to Auto the Exposure Time won't have too much of an
effect as the iris will adjust to compensate for it.
When the Shutter Mode is set to Manual the Exposure Time will have a massive
effect on the brightness of the image. The lower the Exposure Time the slower the
shutter speed therefore more light is captured by the image sensor. However with a
slow shutter speed moving objects may look blurred as they have moved across the
image while they are being captured. The higher the Exposure Time the faster the
shutter speed reducing motion blur however less light is captured by the image
sensor resulting in a darker image.
Defog Mode
The Defog Function is used to improve image clarity in foggy and misty conditions.
The feature is usually disabled by default.
When set to Auto the camera will automatically adjust to improve image clarity. Auto,
however, may have negative effects when used in clear weather conditions as the
camera will still apply the filter to the image.
Manual mode will display a slider for setting the Defog Level. You can set the
strength between 1 and 255. However, as with Auto mode this may have negative
effects when used in clear weather conditions as the camera will still apply the filter to
the image.
Defaulting Settings
To return the Image Control settings back to their default values just click the Default
button.
