Setting the Smart Shade Control
The smart shade control function differs from backlight
compensation in that only dark areas are brightened while
bright areas are kept intact.
(1) [Smart Shade Control]
Select [Auto], [Manual], or [Disable].
(2) Adjusting the Smart Shade Control
When smart shade control is [Manual], set one of the 7
levels from [1] (Mild) to [7] (Strong).
Example: If the background is bright and the subject
is hard to see, this function brightens dark areas to
make the subject clearer.
In comparison to backlight compensation, smart
shade control can reduce overexposure of bright
areas.
OFF Smart Shade
Important
• [Auto] cannot be selected for [Smart Shade Control] if
[Exposure] is set to [Manual].
• If you set [Haze Compensation] to [Auto] or [Manual], [Smart
Shade Control] is set to [Disable].
Note
• When [Auto] or [Manual] is selected for smart shade control,
the video data size increases.
• When [Manual] is selected for smart shade control, setting a
high compensation strength may increase screen noise. If
noise is noticeable, lower the control level.
Setting the Haze Compensation
If the subject is obscured by haze, this adjusts contrast in
the video to improve subject visibility.
