Parameters Description
Shutter Speed The time it takes for light to enter the camera. The faster the shutter speed, the clearer the image.
Sensitivity (ISO) Reflects how sensitive the sensor is to light. A higher sensitivity means the camera can capture more light for a brighter image.
Exposure Compensation Value (EV) In Auto Mode, you can adjust the EV to help with overexposure or underexposure.
White Balance (WB) Removes unrealistic colors and tones so colors are accurately captured in the image. A higher white balance produces warmer tones and lower results in cooler tones.
Exposure Preset It is recommended to use Anti-Flicker for daily scenes for the best image brightness. For action scenes, Jitter Blur Reduction can improve stability, but the image may be darker.
Filter Add different color tones and effects.
Metering Mode Face Priority prioritizes the face for brightness. Matrix ensures accurate exposure of the whole image.
I-Log A professional color profile that captures more detail for more flexible color grading in post-production.
Sharpness Enhance the contrast at the edges of the image to make blurry videos appear sharper.
