Fine-tuning the settingsThe MD function works in the following manner:the camera memorizes a picture of a certainmoment as the “reference picture,” and comparesthe current picture with the reference picture todetect whether or not a change takes place.Although the camera is factory-set to refresh areference picture after a certain period of time, youcan change the timing when a reference picture isrefreshed or can set the camera not to refresh thereference picture, according to conditions underwhich the camera is used.In addition, you can adjust the parameter that setsthe camera to detect a certain kind of change suchas color and brightness.
Condition underwhich thecamera is used
