Compensation

 

 

 

Enable DRX

Check this check box to enable the Dynamic Range Enhanced (DRX) feature.

 

DRX helps recover washed out details when there is extreme contrast lighting

 

conditions. To reach better image quality adjust Sensitivity (Low and High)

 

and Strength (Low, Medium and High).

 

 

Sensitivity

The Sensitivity option is available only when DRX is enabled. Choose how

 

sensitive (low or high) DRX is to extreme contrast lighting conditions.

 

 

Strength

The Strength option is available only when DRX is enabled. Choose how much

 

DRX processing (low, medium, or high) to use for recovering washed out

 

details.

 

 

Gamma Curve

Choose the value that provides the optimal gray-scale intensity. Larger gamma

 

curve values make shadows darker and larger values make dark regions lighter.
