Configure your device
•
Set the max gain to a lower value.

If possible, open the aperture.
•
Reduce sharpness in the image, under Video > Image > Appearance.
Reduce motion blur in low-light conditions
To reduce motion blur in low-light conditions, adjust one or more of the following settings in Video > Image > Exposure:
•
Move the Blur-noise trade-off slider toward Low motion blur.
Note
When you increase the gain, image noise also increases.
•
Set Max shutter to a shorter time, and Max gain to a higher value.
Note
When you open the aperture, the depth of field gets shallower.
•
Move the Aperture slider toward Open.
If you still have problems with motion blur:
•
Increase the light level in the scene.
•
Mount the camera so that objects move toward it or away from it rather than sideways.
Note
If you use a lens with a larger aperture, the depth of field gets shallower.
•
Change to a lens with a larger aperture.
Handle scenes with strong backlight
Dynamic range is the difference in light levels in an image. In some cases the difference between the darkest and the brightest
areas can be significant. The result is often an image where either the dark or the bright areas are visible. Wide dynamic range
(WDR) makes both dark and bright areas of the image visible.
1. Go to Video > Image > Wide dynamic range.
2. If you still have problems, go to Exposure and adjust the Exposure zone to cover the area of interest.
Find out more about WDR and how to use it at axis.com/web-articles/wdr.
Stabilize a shaky image with electronic image stabilization (EIS)
Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS) can be used in environments where the product is mounted in an exposed location and subject to
vibrations, for example, wind or passing traffic.
EIS makes the image smoother, steadier and less blurry. It also reduces the file size of the compressed image and lowers the
bitrate of the video stream.
Note
The image is cropped slightly when EIS is enabled, lowering the maximum resolution.
1. Go to Video > Installation > Image correction.
2. Turn on Image stabilization.
