Auto Exposure Settings

 Method: Select which area of the image will be used to measure the amount of light to achieve

best exposure.

- Center Weighted: Exposure metering is averaged over the entire frame but emphasis is

placed on the central area.

- Object Targeted: This option meters the exposure based on the targets you specify. When

this option is selected, define your target by clicking squares displayed on the image and then

press Save Spot Window to save the setting.

 EV: In a scene with predominantly light or dark areas, the image will be underexposed or

overexposed, causing an image to be too dark or bright. In such situations, you can adjust a

compensation value to optimize the exposure. Decrease the value if images appear too light

(overexposed). Increase the value if images are too dark (underexposed).

 Max/Min. Exp: Select the maximum / minimum exposure time according to the light source.

Note: The selectable value varies according to the frequency setting under Image > Basic Settings.

 Sensitivity: Select how sensitive the camera reacts to the light. A higher value enables the

camera to be more sensitive to the light conditions and adjust exposure in the shortest time

interval.

 Max Gain: Specify the maximum amount of amplification applied to the image. A high level of

gain allows images to be viewable in very low light, but will increase image noise.
