Notes:

  • The closer the slider is to the bright end, the easier the camera will switch to the color image mode; The closer the slider is to the dark end, the easier the camera will switch to the black-and-white mode.
  •  If you don't have special needs, it is recommended that you keep this value by default. Or tap Restore Default Value to go back to the default status.
