FRAME AVERAGING

The Frame Averaging setting takes the number of specified frames, combines them into 1 frame, and

averages the exposure time for each of the original frames. You can use frame averaging to achieve the

effect of long-exposure along with the benefits of reduced noise. However, frame averaging does affect

motion blur characteristics.

For example, if you select 16 as your FRAMES TO PROCESS value, and set your exposure to 1/48 sec, your

resulting image will still have the exposure value of 1/48 sec along with the effect of long-exposure.

NOTE: When you’re in preview mode, you will not see frame averaging take effect. Once you start recording,

you will be able to see the altered image. You may have to experiment with your exposure and frame

averaging settings before you achieve the effect you want.
