AE (Auto Exposure)
Brightness (1-20; default 4):
This adjusts the direct gain of the image,
making the whole scene look whiter or brighter. It is usually best to
leave this as the default setting unless you have a specific requirement.
Exposure Mode (Globe, Center, BLC, FLC):
time to account for the amount of light present and how long the sen-
sor should collect light before producing an image. The default setting
of 'Globe' selects automatic exposure settings. Center uses automatic
settings as well, but biases the center of the camera image when calcu-
lating. The BLC setting allows manual adjustment in a range. Helpful for
situations where there is light in front of the camera that is placing the

subject area in shadow. FLC is similar to BLC, but for instances where
the light is coming from behind the camera rather than behind the sub-
ject.
This sets the exposure Gain (1-8; default 3):
erated signal from the sensor. Typically, this needs to be set higher the
less light is available for the camera to use. Using higher gain settings
will result in higher noise (static) being observed on the image, again
some experimentation is needed to get the best setting.
