Initial Settings
Check if the Start Video button on the camera application’s toolbar is enabled:
If it is not enabled, check the list of all available cameras in Main menu > Device >
Switch Multiple… If the list is empty, check if the camera is connected and if the driver
is installed correctly.
The illumination of the camera’s image depends on the values of frequency, exposure,
gain, the image dimensions (resolution) and decimation factor.
The recommended initial settings are:
● Gain and Exposure sliders are in the lowest position
● Decimation is 1:1
● Viewport size is 800 x 600 (the Viewport settings dialog box is activated with the
button on the camera application toolbar or Alt + v on the keyboard)
● Color Mode is set to Bilinear (Main Menu > Device > Settings... dialog box, Color
Mode section)
● Histogram is active (Main menu >Device > Histogram is selected or h is pressed)
