15. Dynamic Digital Detail Enhancement DDE filter The DDE algorithm sets edge enhancement dynamically proportional to the number of bins occupied in the image histogram In a high dynamic range scene the gain will be higher than in low dynamic range scene This allows faint details to be visible In high dynamic range scenes without increasing temporal and fixed pattern noise in low dynamic range scenes The DDE filter operates independently from the AGC and will enhance edges without effecting brightness or contrast The valid range of Dynamic DDE setting is from 1 to 63 with 17 being the neutral setting where the filter has no effect Settings below 17 will smooth the image reducing the appearance of sharp edges Higher DDE settings will enhance all image non uniformities resulting in a very detailed but grainy picture especially in high dynamic range scenes Typical factory settings are between 25 and Settings from 18 to 39 are normal imaging modes where the edge enhancement can be tuned for the scene Use the slider to adjust the setting or select the text field and type in the desired setting Note In 14 bit Raw mode selecting the DDE mode will not affect the digital data output Flat Field Correction FFC The Photon 640 Slow FFC Video automatically performs flat field corrections see paragraph Flat Field Correction Mode page 3 10 Warm Time 150 a green square is displayed on your video monit
