To adjust image settings for the best visual quality, click on Image Setting to open a motion
picture window. Four fields need to be configured, including Brightness, Contrast, Hue, and
Saturation. Each field has eleven levels, ranging from -5 to +5. While adjusting, administrators
can click on preview to see if the settings are appropriate before clicking on Save. If the
adjustment is not satisfactory, administrators can click on Restore to restore the original settings.
After the configuration is done, click on Close to close this window. If the configurations are
