Select the same frequency as the power line frequency.
• For environments with certain artificial light and bright light, for example outdoors with fluorescent lighting at night and
sun during daytime, select Flicker-reduced.

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. Turn on EIS to get a smoother and steadier image without blur.
EIS also reduces the file size of the compressed image and lowers the bitrate of the video stream.
Note
When EIS is turned on the image is cropped slightly, lowering the maximum resolution.
1. Go to Settings > Image > Image correction.
2. Turn on EIS.
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 Settings > Image > Wide dynamic range.
2. If required, turn on WDR.
Image without WDR.
