the slow shutter function when a scene is too dark.
Select a value from X2 to X32 to set the frame
integration level. The default setting is X4.
MODE AUTO: Select to have DEFOG turn on automatically when needed.
MANUAL: Select to have DEFOG turn on manually.
LEVEL Select the DEFOG level from LOW, MIDDLE, or HIGH.

14
3D DNR (Digital Noise Reduction) Setting
