CR 3 A1

8.2 Exposure compensation

You can define an exposure compensation value for video recording. If the picture is too bright, select a
negative value for exposure compensation. If the picture is too dark, select a positive value for exposure
compensation. You may choose an exposure value between – 2.0 and + 2.0 in 1/3 exposure value
increments.
1. Stop video recording and press the M (3) button to open the menu.
2. Press the Down (4) or Up (2) button several times until the "Exposure" option is selected.
3. Press the OK button (5) to open the "Exposure" option.
4. Press the Down (4) or Up (2) button several times to highlight the desired exposure value and press
OK (5) to confirm.
5. When finished, press the M (3) button to close the menu. After you exit the menu the preview image
on the display (13) will change accordingly so that you can quickly see how the current exposure
looks like.

8.3 Protecting videos from being overwritten during loop recording

For the "Loop recording" mode, you can define a length of 3, 5 or 10 minutes for the video in the menu.
After that recording time, a new video file is automatically created. As you record videos, the optional
microSD memory card fills up. Once the storage space has been used up, the oldest video in the current
recording is automatically overwritten. This ensures that recording is always possible, even when the
storage space has actually all been used up.
It may be however that you wish to keep a particular scene and prevent it from being overwritten.
Proceed as follows:
1. During video recording, press the Protect button (7).
Note that after the preset time of 3, 5 or 10 minutes, a new video will be recorded (which is
subject to be overwritten when loop recording is enabled and the SD card is full).
If you set the loop recording to "Off", videos can be recorded until the inserted microSD memory card is
full. On the one hand, this guarantees that no existing recordings are overwritten, but on the other hand
no new videos can be recorded.
