Thema: Exposure settings |
Open the Exposure Settings dialog to adjust the exposure settings of the camera and to optimize it for the current lighting condition.
The MOBOTIX camera is equipped with several automatic features so that the best possible images can be created under all weather and lighting conditions. Normally, only extreme conditions call for manual modifications of the exposure settings.
When modifying settings manually, you should always start with the factory default settings.

Exposure Field |
Exposure fields are defines image areas that are used for exposure and color adjustments. To facilitate exposure field positioning, you can select from a number of pre-defined exposure fields. Notes:
Pre-defined Exposure Fields:
Exposure Field Weighting: Using this parameter, you can define how much the exposure fields are to be considered for exposure control--relative to the remainder of the image. The factory default setting is 100% which means that only the exposure fields are used for exposure control. White Balance Weighting: Using this parameter, you can define how much the exposure fields are to be considered for white balancing--relative to the remainder of the image. The factory default setting is Total which means that the entire image is used for white balance. Average Brightness: Using this parameter, you can influence the average brightness within the exposure fields. Note, that too high a value may affect the exposure time. |

Note: | In the lower part of the dialog, the current exposure settings of the image sensors are displayed. |
