Brightness: Use the slider to adjust the light intensity. This can make objects easier to see. Brightness is applied after image
capture, and doesn't affect the information in the image. To get more details from a dark area, it's usually better to increase
gain or exposure time.
Sharpness: Use the slider to make objects in the image appear sharper by adjusting the edge contrast. If you increase the
sharpness, it may increase the bitrate and the amount of storage space needed as well.
Wide dynamic range
WDR : Turn on to make both bright and dark areas of the image visible.
Local contrast
dark and light areas.
Tone mapping
zero, only the standard gamma correction is applied, while a higher value increases the visibility of the darkest and brightest
parts in the image.
White balance
When the camera detects the color temperature of the incoming light, it can adjust the image to make the colors look more natural.
If this is not sufficient, you can select a suitable light source from the list.
The automatic white balance setting reduces the risk of color flicker by adapting to changes gradually. If the lighting changes, or
when the camera is first started, it can take up to 30 seconds to adapt to the new light source. If there is more than one type of light
source in a scene, that is, they differ in color temperature, the dominating light source acts as a reference for the automatic white
balance algorithm. This behavior can be overridden by choosing a fixed white balance setting that matches the light source you
want to use as a reference.
