You can fine-tune camera exposure, focus, lens effects, and more in detail. While these settings allow for DSLR camera-like precision, incorrect configuration can cause issues such as “the screen goes completely dark.”

These are the most important settings that determine the “brightness” of your screen.

Troubleshooting: The Pitfall of Manual Mode

If you configure settings in Manual mode for a “bright daytime room” and then switch to a “nighttime room,” the screen will go completely dark. This is because the camera remains at “low sensitivity for daytime.”

If adding lights doesn’t brighten the scene, check if this is set to Manual.

Exposure Compensation

Used for fine-tuning in Auto mode when you want to make the scene “slightly brighter or darker.”

  • Plus (+): Brighten
  • Minus (-): Darken

Focus Settings

Focus Distance

Specifies the distance at which the image is in focus.

  • Focus Settings: Set to Disable for everything to be in focus (deep focus). This is usually fine.
  • Manual: Use when you want to blur specific furniture or objects.

Lens Settings

Current Focal Length (mm)

The degree of zoom.

  • Wide angle (16mm-24mm): When you want to show the entire room. Edges will be slightly distorted.
  • Standard (35mm-50mm): Natural field of view similar to human eyes.
  • Telephoto (85mm~): When you want to photograph furniture close-up. Compression effect makes shapes look more appealing.

Post Processing

Bloom

An expression where light appears to overflow.

  • Intensity: Increase to make lights and window light appear to glow softly.

Vignette

Darkens the corners of the screen to emphasize the central subject.
