What is High Dynamic Range (HDR)
High Dynamic Range (HDR) on Facecam enhances video quality by quickly combining multiple exposures—one at a high exposure to reveal detail in shadow areas and one at a low exposure to reveal detail in bright areas. This results in a balanced image where dark and bright areas maintain detail.
HDR preserves details in an image's darkest and brightest parts, avoiding overexposed highlights and underexposed shadows. This leads to a more balanced and realistic image, especially in challenging lighting conditions.
Dynamic Range settings
Standard (SDR)
- What It Does: This mode balances the bright and dark areas of the image.
- Best For: Most scenarios and environments with consistent lighting.
Wide (WDR)
- What It Does: It ensures you look good even if there's a bright light behind you. It helps balance the light so the video's bright and dark parts are clear.
- Best For: Situations with varied lighting, like rooms with both sunlight and shadows.
High (HDR)
- What It Does: Brings out the most detail in the image's darkest and brightest parts by combining multiple exposures.
- Best For: High-contrast situations where you want to preserve as much detail as possible in all areas of the frame.
Note: HDR only works in 30 fps modes (1080p30) on Facecam Neo. It's not available in p60 modes. Additionally, HDR is disabled on Facecam MK.2 when set to 720p120 to ensure optimal performance and quality.
