Image Appearance

Adjust these settings to optimize the video images according to your requirements.

All configuration of images and overlays will affect the performance of the camera, depending on usage and the available bandwidth.

Use these settings to adjust:

•Image resolution - select the image resolution to show on the Live View page.

•Image compression - increase compression to save on bandwidth

•Image rotation - rotate the image in steps of 90 degrees

•White balance - the white balancing system automatically detects white in the image and intelligently use this as a reference for other colors.

Please see the online help for more information on these settings.

Note: In certain situations, the white balancing system will not operate effectively. Problems may occur if the image contains no white color at all, or if the dominant color is not white. In these circumstances, the white balance may incorrectly be based on another visible color in the image, and colors may become distorted. A pale background picture with reddish or blue foreground objects is very symptomatic of this condition. In such cases it is recommended that a fixed white balance setting is selected.
