Parameters Description
Shutter Speed Controls the time it takes for light to enter the camera. The faster the shutter speed, the clearer the image. Make this higher for dynamic shots and lower for low light conditions.
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.
Jitter Blur Reduction Improves motion blur and stabilization in low light environments. In extreme environments, the image will be darker and may have some flickering.
Filters Add different color tones and effects.
Metering Mode Face Priority prioritizes the face for brightness. Matrix ensures accurate exposure of the whole image.
Sharpness Adjusts the video screen's clarity and the image edges' sharpness.
