IMAGE PROPERTIES

The image properties of video recordings can be changes slightly
using several parameters. These are summarized in pre-configured
profiles.
Video Style
CONTRAST
The contrast setting, i.e. the difference between light and dark im-
age sections, determines whether an image comes across as "flat"
or "brilliant". Increasing or decreasing this difference impacts on
contrast, meaning that some image sections are rendered brighter
or darker.
SHARPNESS
The impression of sharpness in a picture is largely determined by
edge sharpness, i.e. by how slight the transition area between light
and dark is at edges in the shot. Expanding or reducing these areas
will therefore change the impression of sharpness.
COLOR SATURATION
The saturation factor in color images determines, whether colors
in the shots appear "pale" and pastel-like or "bright" and colorful.
While lighting conditions and weather (e.g. foggy/clear) are a given
in terms of shooting conditions, their rendering can be influenced.

HIGHLIGHT/SHADOW
Depending on the exposure selected and the dynamic scope of the
object, some details in brighter or darker areas may no longer be
clearly visible. The parameters
entiated control over very brightly or less brightly lit areas. Where,
for example, part of the object is in shadow, a higher setting for
can help brighten these areas to make details more visible.
Shadow
Conversely, existing shadows or particularly bright areas might be
additionally emphasized for reasons of image composition. Positive
values will brighten the targeted areas, while negative values will
darken them.
