Digital Wide Dynamic Range
When there are both very bright and very dark areas simultaneously in the field of view, you can enable
Digital Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) function. It optimizes an image to ensure that dark areas are more
visible while retaining details in bright areas.
 Level: Depending on the contrast/dynamic range of a scene, you can select different level of
WDR. Higher level of WDR suits for higher contrast/dynamic scene. If you select Auto mode, the
camera will automatically adjust the WDR level by itself depending on the scene.

4.2.3 White Balance

Select a white balance mode according to your light condition.
 Auto White Balance: Use this option when there is no special lighting in the environment. The
camera will automatically adjust the color temperature according to the light conditions and the
sensitivity you specify. The higher the sensitivity, the faster the adjustment. If the lighting
conditions change frequently, select a lower sensitivity to prevent the camera from frequently
changing white balance.

Manual White Balance: With special light in the environment, you can use this option to
manually adjust the red and blue channels, which are mostly affected by special light. For
example, if red color is too bright, then you should lower the R Gain value. Click the Default RB
Value if you want to retrieve the defaults.
