DRS  
(Camera)  
Selects the DRS (Dynamic Range Stretcher) function.  
This function compresses the video signal level to extend the dynamic  
range making it possible to correctly render highlight areas without  
overexposure and loss of detail that would otherwise occur.  
OFF, 1, ꢀ, ꢁ  
Larger values indicate a higher compression level of highlight areas.
