Configure your device
Reduce noise in low-light conditions
To reduce noise in low-light conditions, you can adjust one or more of the following settings:
•
Adjust the trade-off between noise and motion blur. Go to Video > Image > Exposure and move the Blur-noise trade-off
slider toward Low noise.
•
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.
Note
When you reduce the max gain, the image can become darker.
•
Set the max gain to a lower value.
•
If possible, open the aperture.
•
Reduce sharpness in the image, under Video > Image > Appearance.
If the above settings do not improve the image sufficiently, change to a lens with a lower f-value.
Reduce motion blur in low-light conditions
To reduce motion blur in low-light conditions, adjust one or more of the following settings in Video > Image > Exposure:
•
Set Exposure mode to Automatic and turn on Motion-adaptive exposure.
Note
Motion-adaptive exposure works best when you move the Blur-noise trade-off slider fully toward Low noise.
•
Move the Blur-noise trade-off slider toward Low motion blur.
Note
When you increase the gain, image noise also increases.
•
Set Max shutter to a shorter time, and Max gain to a higher value.
Note
When you open the aperture, the depth of field gets shallower.
•
Move the Aperture slider toward Open.
If you still have problems with motion blur:
•
Increase the light level in the scene.
•
Mount the camera so that objects move toward it or away from it rather than sideways.
Note
If you use a lens with a larger aperture, the depth of field gets shallower.
•
Change to a lens with a larger aperture.
