About SUPER-D 3 (Super Dynamic function)
When there is wide variation between the illumination of light and
dark areas of the location being monitored, the camera adjusts the
lens iris in accordance with the brighter areas. This causes loss of
detail in darker areas. Conversely, adjusting the lens brightness for
the darker areas causes the brighter areas to become washed out.
SUPER-D 3 digitally combines an image that is set up for a clear
view of the brighter areas with an image that is set up for a clear
view of the darker areas, creating a final image that preserves over-
all detail.
Subject in the dark 
area is hard to notice…Subject in the bright 
area is washed out…
Creates a 
clearer image 
by digitally 
combining 
images.
