• Right : Uses an area with a fixed size and position in the right part of the image to calculate the
exposure.
• Spot: Uses an area with a fixed size and position in the live view to calculate the exposure.
• Custom: Uses an area in the live view to calculate the exposure. You can adjust the size and position
of the area.
Max shutter: Select the shutter speed to provide the best image. Low shutter speeds (longer exposure) might
cause motion blur when there is movement, and a too high shutter speed might affect the image quality. Max
shutter works with max gain to improve the image.
Max gain: Select the suitable max gain. If you increase the max gain, it improves the visible level of detail in
dark images, but also increases the noise level. More noise can also result in increased use of bandwidth and
storage. If you set the max gain to a high value, images can differ a lot if the light conditions are very
different from day to night. Max gain works with max shutter to improve the image.
Motion-adaptive exposure : Select to reduce motion blur in low-light conditions.
Blur-noise trade-off: Use the slider to adjust the priority between motion blur and noise. If you want to
prioritize low bandwidth and have less noise at the expense of details in moving objects, move the slider
towards Low noise. If you want to prioritize the preservation of details in moving objects at the expense of
noise and bandwidth, move the slider towards Low motion blur.
Note
You can change the exposure either by adjusting the exposure time or by adjusting the gain. If you
increase the exposure time, it results in more motion blur, and if you increase the gain, it results in more
noise. If you adjust the Blur-noise trade-off towards Low noise, the automatic exposure will prioritize
longer exposure times over increasing gain, and the opposite if you adjust the trade-off towards Low
motion blur. Both the gain and exposure time will eventually reach their maximum values in low-light
conditions, regardless of the priority set.
Lock aperture : Turn on to keep the aperture size set by the Aperture slider. Turn off to allow the camera
to automatically adjust the aperture size. You can, for example, lock the aperture for scenes with permanent
light conditions.
Aperture : Use the slider to adjust the aperture size, that is, how much light passes through the lens. To
allow more light to enter the sensor and thereby produce a brighter image in low-light conditions, move the
slider towards Open. An open aperture also reduces the depth of field, which means that objects close to or
far from the camera can appear unfocused. To allow more of the image to be in focus, move the slider
towards Closed.
Exposure level: Use the slider to adjust the image exposure.
Defog : Turn on to detect the effects of foggy weather and automatically remove them for a clearer
image.
Note
We recommend you not to turn on Defog in scenes with low contrast, large light level variations, or when
the autofocus is slightly off. This can affect the image quality, for example, by increasing the contrast.
Furthermore, too much light can negatively impact the image quality when defog is active.
