3. MENU SETTINGS

3.1. Exposure

In the exposure settings, users can set exposure mode, shutter speed, iris, gain, gain limit, DRC, anti-flicker, and BLC. Users can adjust these settings using either the camera's buttons or the IR remote controller. To access the exposure settings, navigate to the EXPOSURE option in the Main Menu.

3.1.1. Exposure Mode

Exposure mode determines how the camera automatically adjusts exposure. Available exposure modes include AE, AE lock, custom:

• AE: The camera automatically adjusts exposure based on the surrounding lighting conditions.
• AE Lock: This is similar to auto mode, but it will lock in the exposure settings that you have chosen.
• Custom: Users can save custom exposure settings for specific situations.

3.1.2. Shutter Speed

Shutter speed controls the duration for which the camera's shutter remains open, affecting the amount of light captured. A faster shutter speed freezes motion, while a slower shutter speed allows more light in, creating blur effects.

3.1.3. Iris

The iris controls the aperture of the lens, regulating the amount of light entering the camera. A wider aperture (lower f-number) allows more light in, while a narrower aperture (higher f-number) restricts light entry.

3.1.4. Gain

Gain amplifies the camera's sensor signal, enhancing brightness in low-light conditions. However, higher gain settings can introduce noise into the image.

3.1.5. Gain Limit

The gain limit sets the maximum gain level to prevent over amplification of the sensor signal, which can introduce excessive noise.

3.1.6. DRC

Dynamic Range Compression compresses the range of brightness in the image, enhancing contrast.

3.1.7. Anti-Flicker

Anti-flicker helps to reduce or eliminate flickering in images caused by artificial light sources, such as fluorescent lights and LED lights.

3.1.8. BLC

Backlight compensation adjusts exposure to prevent backlight subjects from appearing too dark. This setting is particularly useful when shooting portraits or scenes with strong backlight.

3.2. Color

The color settings allow users to fine-tune the camera's color rendition and image processing to achieve their desired look. These settings include white balance mode, red and blue gain, color temperature, hue, and black and white mode. Users can adjust these settings using either the camera's buttons or the IR remote controller. To access the color settings, navigate to the COLOR option in the Main Menu.

3.2.1. WB Mode

White balance ensures that colors appear natural and accurate under different lighting conditions. Available white balance modes include:

• AWB: The camera automatically adjusts white balance based on the surrounding lighting conditions.
• AWB Lock: This mode locks in the white balance that the camera has set for the current scene.
• Custom: Users can manually set the white balance using a white balance card or by selecting a specific color temperature.
• VAR: Users can fine-tune the white balance by adjusting the color temperature and other settings.

3.2.2. Red & Blue Gain

Red and blue gain allows users to fine-tune the intensity of red and blue colors in the image. This can be useful for correcting color casts or achieving a specific color palette.

3.2.3. Color Temp.

Color temperature refers to the overall warmth or coolness of the image. A higher color temperature creates a cooler, bluer image, while a lower color temperature creates a warmer, redder image. Users can adjust the color temperature to achieve their desired look.

3.2.4. Hue

Hue controls the overall color tone of the image. It represents the dominant color that appears in the image. Adjusting the hue can shift the colors in the image, creating a specific mood or atmosphere.

3.2.5. B&W Mode

Black and white mode converts the image to grayscale, removing all color information. Users can adjust the contrast and sharpness of the black and white image.

3.3. Image

The image settings allow users to fine-tune the appearance of the live stream to match their desired visual style. These settings include style selection, contrast adjustment, saturation control, brightness modification, gamma correction, and image mirroring or flipping, dehaze, 2D and 3D noise reduction. Users can adjust image settings using either the camera's buttons or the IR remote controller. To access the image settings, navigate to the IMAGE option in the Main Menu.

3.3.1. Style Selection

Predefined styles offer tailored adjustments to enhance specific types of live streams. Available styles include:

• Meeting: This style is designed for shooting presentations and other formal events. It has a neutral color tone and a high contrast ratio to ensure that the subject is well-defined.
• Beauty: This style is designed to enhance the natural beauty of the subject. It has a soft color tone and a smooth skin tone to make the subject look more attractive.
• Jewel: This style is designed to highlight the beauty of jewel. It has a saturated color tone and a high contrast ratio to make the jewel stand out.
• Fashion: This style is designed to capture the latest fashion trends. It has a vibrant color tone and a creative composition to make the photos look stylish.
• Custom: This style allows users to create their own custom look. Users can adjust the color tone, contrast, saturation, and sharpness to create a unique look that suits their needs.

3.3.2. Image Parameters

Users can manually adjust various image parameters to further refine the visual appearance of the live stream:

• Sharpness: Controls the clarity and crispness of the image. Increasing sharpness can make details appear more defined, while decreasing sharpness can create a softer, more diffused look.
• Contrast: Controls the difference between the brightest and darkest parts of the image. Adjusting contrast can make the image appear more or less defined.
• Saturation: Determines the intensity of colors in the image. Increasing saturation can make colors appear more vibrant, while decreasing saturation can create a more muted or washed-out look.
• Brightness: Adjusts the overall brightness of the image. Increasing brightness can make the image appear lighter, while decreasing brightness can make it appear darker.
• Gamma: Controls the overall tonal range of the image, affecting the mid-tones and highlights. Adjusting gamma can make the image appear more or less contrasty.

3.3.3. Image Mirroring and Flipping

Users can choose to mirror or flip the image horizontally or vertically. Mirroring creates a reflection of the image, while flipping reverses the image. These options can be useful for adjusting the camera's perspective or creating specific visual effects.

3.3.4. Dehaze

Dehaze function can reduce haze and improves visibility in foggy or misty conditions. It works by analyzing the image and identifying areas of low contrast, which are often characteristic of haze. The dehaze algorithm then selectively brightens these areas to make the image appear clearer.

3.3.5. 2D & 3D NR

Noise reduction reduces noise, which is the grainy appearance that can occur in low-light images. 2D noise reduction applies noise reduction to the entire image, while 3D noise reduction also considers temporal information to reduce noise while preserving fine details.

3.4. Focus

The focus settings enable users to refine the camera's focus behavior and enhance the sharpness of the live stream. These settings include focus mode selection, zoom speed adjustment, TOF focus activation, and magnification display control. To access the focus settings, navigate to the FOCUS option in the Main Menu.

3.4.1. Focus Mode Selection

Users can choose from various focus modes to optimize the camera's ability to maintain focus on the desired subject:

• AF: The camera automatically adjusts focus based on the detected subject or movement.
• AF Lock: This mode locks in the focus that the camera has set for the current subject.
• Manual: Users can manually focus the camera using the focus buttons.

3.4.2. Zoom Speed

Users can adjust the zoom speed to control how quickly the camera zooms in or out. This allows for precise framing and focus adjustments during the live stream.

3.4.3. ToF Focus

Users can activate the ToF focus sensor to enhance focusing accuracy in low-light conditions or when shooting moving subjects. It projects an infrared laser beam onto the subject, allowing the camera to precisely determine the distance and achieve sharp focus.

3.4.4. MAG. Display

Magnification display provides a zoomed-in view of the selected area, enabling precise manual focus adjustments. Users can toggle the magnification display on or off as needed.
