•EX OSURE MODE
You can set the EX OSURE MODE as GLOBAL, BLC,
and DWDR.
˗GLOBAL


GLOBAL re ers to the normal exposure mode,
which per orms exposure according to the

˗BLC (Backlight Compensation)
BLC (Backlight Compensation) compensates
light or the ront object to make it clear, but
this may cause the over-exposure o the
background, where the light is strong.
˗DWDR (Digital Wide Dynamic Range)
The DWDR helps the camera provide clear
images even under backlight circumstances.
When both very bright and very dark areas
simultaneously exist in the image, DWDR
balances the brightness level o the whole
image to provide clear images with details.
•AGC (Automatic Gain Control)
AGC optimizes image clarity in poor light
conditions. The AGC level can be set as HIGH,
MEDIUM, or LOW. Select OFF to disable the AGC
unction.
