2048th of a second). Rapidly moving experimental subjects can appear
blurred in the video. To reduce blurring increase the shutter speed. However,
faster shutter speeds usually result in a darker image and are not as reliable in
the LED mode. Compensate somewhat for the darker image by adjusting
Brightness and Contrast. If the image is still too dark adjust the manual iris
on the camera lens; see Step 3 on page B-10.
Note:
When recording under fluorescent lights, use a normal 2 -6 (1/64th of a
second) shutter speed. Faster shutter speeds typically result in a
flickering effect in the video as the CCD sensor exposure interval
interacts with the normal flicker of fluorescent lights.
• Auto Brightness – If the user checks the Auto Brightness checkbox, the
camera automatically controls the brightness. If the Auto Brightness checkbox
is unchecked, the Brightness setting will appear.
• Brightness – This control send commands to the camera to control the brightness
of the video image. If the user clicks Auto Brightness, the camera automatically
controls the brightness and the Brightness setting disappears.
Otherwise, use the Brightness slider to manually set the video image brightness
to a value between 0 and 255.
• Sharpness – This control sends commands to the camera to control the sharpness
of the image. The range of the Sharpness control is from 0 to 255.
Adjust this control to achieve a pleasing image.
• Saturation – This control sends commands to the camera to control the color
saturation. The color saturation determines the amount of color added to the
image. The range of the Saturation control is from 0 to 255. Adjust the control
so that colors are pleasing, but not excessive.
Note:
3.2.1.2.2 File Group.
Because Object Contour mode is monochrome, Saturation does not
appear under Camera when Object Contour Tracker is enabled.
The File group is present in File mode but not in Camera mode. The File group
contains the following settings:
• File Name - this setting contains the complete path and file name of the
source file. The source file is selected from the Browse Folder button at the
right side of the setting.
• Compression - this setting specifies the type of compression used for the file.
