Tip
Q1: When should I choose NIGHT mode?
A: Outdoors: early morning or dusk, when sunlight is weak and ambient brightness is low. Indoors: weak light sources and dim ambient light.
Q2: If I need to move from a well-lit area into a dim corridor and then back into a well-lit area, which mode should I choose?
A: Choose NIGHT mode to keep good LCC quality even in dim environments.
