Loop recording allows your camera to overwrite old files with new files. Once the
memory card becomes full, the camera will delete the first video file to make room
for the latest file. For example, if the setting for loop recording is“1 Minute”, then the
camera will create video clips of 1 minute in length, and a 1-minute clip will be
deleted when the camera needs more memory.
8. Audio Record: On/Off
Default setting is On.
9. Exposure Value: -2/-1/0/+1/+2
Default setting is 0.
By default, your camera uses the entire image to determine the appropriate
exposure level. However, exposure lets you select an area that you want the camera

where an important region might otherwise be over or underexposed.
10. White Balance: Auto/Tungsten/Fluorescent/Daylight/Cloudy/Dawn
Default setting is Auto.
White Balance lets you adjust the color temperature of videos and photos to
optimize for cool or warm lighting conditions.

In photography, the metering mode refers to the way in which a camera determines
exposure. Cameras generally allow the user to select between center, average or
spot metering modes. The different metering modes allow the user to select the
most appropriate one for use in a variety of lighting conditions.

Default setting is Auto.
ISO determines the camera’s sensitivity to light, and creates a trade-off between
brightness and resulting image noise. Image noise refers to the degree of graininess
in the image. In low light, higher ISO values result in brighter images, but with
greater image noise. Lower values result in lower image noise, but darker images.
9. WDR: On/Off
Default setting is Off.
Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) retains a greater level of detail in the dark and bright
areas of an image. The result is the photos will be properly exposed for both of
these extremes. This setting is especially useful for scenes that are backlist or that
have large bright regions and a dark foreground.
