11 Configure the settings relating to images and audio [Image/Audio] [Wide dynamic range (WDR)] Select "On" or "Off" to determine whether or not to activate the wide dynamic range function. This function compensates brightness so that it produces clearer images even if objects have various illumination intensities. • On: The wide dynamic range function will work. • Off: The wide dynamic range function will not work. • Default: Off Note • • When the wide dynamic range function is activated, noise may be increased in the dark area of the object. When "Outdoor scene" SC384 , "ELC(1/30s)" SW175 SW174W SW172 ST165 ST162 , "Indoor scene (60 Hz)", or "Indoor scene (50 Hz)" is selected for "Light control mode", this setting is available. [Face WDR] The "Face WDR" setting can calibrate the illuminance level of people's faces on images to improve the visibility by synchronizing the face detection function with the wide dynamic range function when their faces are too dark to recognize. Select "On" or "Off" to determine whether or not to interact with the face detection function. • On: The interactive control with face detection will work. The wide dynamic range controls over around face. • Off: The interactive control with face detection will not work. • Default: Off Note • • When "Off" is selected for "Wide dynamic range", it is impossible to activate the "Face WDR" setting. There may be some cases that the effect is not distinct when the faces are too dark to recognize due to strong backlight.
