IMAGE ADJUST
Use these settings to fine-tune your video by adjusting brightness, color levels, and noise reduction among other options.
3DNR
3DNR, which is short for 3-D Noise Reduction, compares a sequence of video images over a period of time and blends them to
reduce graininess. When enabled, there are individual settings for day (D) and night (N) video. Use these sliders to reduce the amount
of motion blur that can occur due to noise reduction.

This differs from brightness by adjusting the luminance of the video
image by reducing “noise” while still keeping blacks black and
whites white. This can be adjusted from .45 (lightest) to 1(darkest),

image will be electronically corrected to lighten the corners.
