• In the normal setting, you can select the noise
reduction level from 6 levels: levels 1 to 5, plus off.
In this setting, the users cannot adjust the ratio of
2D/3D effect level.
• In the independent setting, you can individually select
the 2D NR and 3D NR from 6 levels respectively:
levels 1 to 5, plus off.
The NR effect is applied in levels based on the gain,
and this setting value determines the limit of the effect.
In bright conditions, changing the NR level will not
have an effect.
High sensitivity mode
This function increases the max gain to allow bright
output in darker environments.
However, with a strong gain (up to 10×), the captured
image will contain a lot of noise.
Note
When Wide-D is ON, the High sensitivity mode does not work.
Flicker Reduction
This function automatically reduces flicker such as that
caused by fluorescent light.
When the camera detects flicker, it automatically
changes the shutter speed and reduces flicker.
The shutter speed is automatically selected according to
conditions such as subject brightness and the Auto
Slow Shutter setting.
See the table below for the shutter speed to be selected.

If the camera does not detect flicker, it will run normal
AE operation.
Notes
• This function operates only during AE-Full Auto.
• Flicker Reduction does not work in AE-Shutter Priority/Iris
Priority/Manual/Spot Exposure Mode or Wide Dynamic Range
Mode.
• After the camera detects flicker and the shutter speed is changed,
Extended Normal Shutter and Minimum Shutter are inoperative.
Visibility Enhancer (VE)
Depending on the imaging scene, the Visibility
Enhancer function makes the darker part of a camera
image brighter, and automatically correct brightness
and contrast to show bright parts clearly.
Note
This function is also used in the Wide-D operation.
Defog mode
When the surrounding area of the subject is foggy and
low contrast, the defog mode will make the subject
appear clearer.
You can select this function from the four levels: OFF,
Low, Middle and High.
HLC
HLC (highlight correction) is a function to adjust AE
and AF, and to perform the masking of light area as
required when a high intensity spot light is detected.
It allows you to easily read the number of vehicles and
number plate in the indoor parking area or in the
outdoor during the night.
Note
Wide-D/HLC/Backlight Compensation/Spot Exposure Mode do
not work at the same time.
MinimumShutter
When the subject becomes dark, the shutter speed
becomes slow, and then the gain is increased. This is a
function to put a limit on the shutter speed.
It prevents the camera shake when you shoot a moving
subject in a dark place.
Noise Reduction (NR)
The NR function removes noise (both random and
non-random) to provide clearer images.
The functions of both 2D NR (removal of 2-
dimentional noise) and 3D NR (removal of 3-
dimentional noise) are provided. When the 2D NR
level is increased, the details of image may be lost
because the smoothing of image with the peripheral
area is performed. Also, when the 3D NR level is
increased, adverse effects such as image blur and
blending in the successive images occur in the moving
portion. In this function, the mode to set the level of
effect by combining 2D/3D (normal setting) and the
mode to individually set the level of effect respectively
(independent setting) are available.
