Backlight Compensation
Figure 4-9 Backlight Compensation
Users can choose to turn this function ON or OFF.
Backlight Compensation is a function that achieves the brightness of a
selected area to an optimum image level. Due to the intense light coming from
the back of objects in the area expected to view, the auto iris lens tends to
close and areas desired to see become dark and invisible. Therefore, this
function is essential.
