BACKLIGHT

BLC BACK LIGHT COMPENSATION
MANUAL User can manually adjust the BLC level in five areas of the scene (TOP, BOTTOM, CENTER, LEFT, RIGHT).
Increase the BLC levels to make the image brighter.
SMART This is recommended. Camera will automatically detect and adjust the BLC zone. BLC levels to choose
from include: LOWEST, LOW, MID, HIGH.
HME HIGHLIGHT MASKING EXPOSURE
HME masks highlights to allow objects to appear clearly on the screen. If ON is selected, HME levels are
adjustable. The lower the number, the darker the masking areas.
DRC DYNAMIC RANGE COMPRESSOR
With the advanced light compensation technology DRC, dark spots in images particularly become more visible
without overexposing the bright spots to create one perfect image. The higher the number, the better the
performance of DRC.
