Image Correction
Image correction settings can compensate for different types of image issues. Select Electronic image stabilization (EIS) to
compensate for vibrations or select Barrel distortion correction to compensate for lens effects.
Note
• It is not recommended to use Electronic image stabilization (EIS) together with Wide Dynamic Range (WDR).
• Electronic image stabilization (EIS) cannot be used together with Barrel distortion correction.
Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS)
When monitoring an environment that is subject to vibrations such as a train station, or when the camera is mounted on a pole,
images may appear unsteady. To automatically improve image stability, select Electronic image stabilization (EIS) from Video &
Audio > Camera Settings.
Barrel Distortion Correction
Barrel distortion is a lens effect that causes an image to look curved. The extent of distortion depends on the zoom level.
To edit barrel distortion settings, click Edit from Video & Audio > Camera Settings > Image Correction. In the Barrel Distortion
Correction window, adjust the slider to correct the distortion, using the grid for assistance.
Enable Defog
Enable this feature from Video & Audio > Camera Settings to counter the effects of foggy weather and get a clear image. Or click
the Defog button in the product's Live View page. This button can be configured to appear in the Live View page from Live View
Config > Live View Layout. Use the Defog Effect slider to adjust the degree of countering as required.
Note
Too much brightness can negatively impact image quality when defog is active.

White Balance

To change this setting go to Setup > Video & Audio > Camera Settings
White balance is used to make colors in the image appear the same regardless of the color temperature of the light source. The Axis
product can be set to automatically identify the light source and compensate for its color. Alternatively, select the type of light
source from the drop-down list. For a description of each available setting, see the online help
The white balance window is enabled for the Automatic and Automatic outdoor options that appear in the White balance drop-down
list. Select one of the options from the drop-down list to set the white balance window properties. Select Automatic to use the
default settings for the Automatic and Automatic outdoor options (in the White balance drop-down list). Select Custom to manually
set a reference window for white balance in the view area.
Wide Dynamic Range
Wide dynamic range (WDR - Forensic Capture) provides balanced images in scenes when there is a considerable contrast between
light and dark areas in the image. The camera automatically handles the transition between such scenes and low-light conditions. In
rare light conditions disabling WDR might give a better image.
Important
Use WDR in combination with automatic exposure control. Other exposure settings could give undesirable results.
Exposure Settings
Configure the exposure settings to suit the image quality requirements in relation to lighting, frame rate and bandwidth
considerations.
Exposure value - Use the Exposure value slider to adjust the overall brightness of the image.
