Reduce noise in low-light conditions
To reduce noise in low-light conditions, you can adjust one or more of the following settings:
• Set the exposure mode to automatic.
Note
A high max shutter value can result in motion blur.
• To slow down the shutter speed, set max shutter to the highest possible value.
• Reduce sharpness in the image.
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.
