EV
Your DVR-510 adjusts the exposure of each scene automatically. However, if the subject is very dark, or very bright,
you may override the DVR-510's automatic exposure determination to make the subject brighter or darker. This is
called EV compensation. The EV compensation can be adjusted from -1.8EV to +1.8EV.
Examples of Exposure Compensation -
+ (positive) compensation
* Printed matter comprising black text on whitish paper
* Backlighting
* Bright scenes or strong reflected light such as ski slopes
* When the sky accounts for a large area on the screen
- (negative) compensation
* People illuminated by a spotlight, in particular, against dark background
* Printed matter comprising white text on blackish paper
* Weak reflecting bodies such as evergreen trees or darkish leaves
AWB

taken that approach the conditions that are seen by the human eye.
