ISO Limit
ISO Limit adjusts the camera’s sensitivity in low-light environments, and creates a balance between brightness and resulting image noise. Image noise refers to the degree of graininess in the image.
| Setting | Resulting Video Quality |
|---|---|
| 1600 (Default) | Moderately bright video in low light, moderate image noise |
| 400 | Darker video in low light, reduced image noise |
Sharpness
Sharpness controls the sharpness of your video footage.
| Setting | Resulting Video Quality |
|---|---|
| On (Default) | Moderately sharp video |
| Off | Softer video that allows for more flexibility in post-production |
Spot Meter
Spot Meter is good for filming into a setting where the lighting is different from where you are, such as filming the outdoors from within a car or filming a shaded environment while standing in the sun. Spot Meter automatically sets the exposure based on a single spot in the middle of the image.
