Image Appearance

Use these settings to change the image as required. The image can be rotated, the image resolution and compression can be adjusted, and the white balance can be changed.

The configuration of the video image will affect the camera’s overall performance, depending on how it is used and on the available bandwidth. Setting higher resolution and lower compression improves video image quality, but increases the amount of bandwidth required.
