These are settings that have an effect on the image post-processing. Basically, these settings are all artificial: they
don’t affect the optical parts of the camera itself. The settings are listed below.
Bright The amount of detail that is visible in darker areas of the image. Be careful not to set this setting too high, as you will
see that the image becomes ‘milky-white’!
Contrast The amount of detail that is visible in lighter areas of the image.
Sharpness Artificial contrast, be careful not to set this too high as it will create a sort of 'halo' around sharp edges of filmed
objects. The setting Sharpness coincides with the setting of Noise Reduction.
B&W Mode Black and White Mode makes the picture black and white.
Flip-H, Flip-V, Auto flip The Flip-H mode turns the picture horizontally, while the Flip-V mode turns it vertically by 180 degrees. When Auto Flip
is on, the camera will automatically flip the picture horizontal and vertical.
DZoom This is the digital zoom of the camera. With this feature ON, you can zoom in slightly on the filmed object. Disabling
this feature while the camera is already zoomed in to the maximum level, will cause the camera to automatically
zoom out several times, until it reaches the maximum zoom level without using the additional digital part.
NR (Noise Reduction)

Noise reduction can be used to soften the image when noise is present due to poor lighting conditions. The higher
the amount of noise reduction, the softer the image will be, ultimately resulting in loss of details.
Be careful when adjusting the noise reduction, as it can take away the natural ‘crispness’ of the image. You will
lose the natural 'crispness' of the image, if you set the dynamic contrast and gain too high (this will cause more
noise). Better practice is to add light to the filmed object.
