Adjusting Camera Properties

You can adjust the following properties for the HP Webcam.
■
Brightness—Controls the amount of light that is incorporated
into the image. A higher brightness setting creates a brighter
image; a lower brightness setting creates a darker image.
■
Contrast—Controls the difference between lighter and darker
areas on the image. A higher contrast setting intensifies the
image; a lower contrast setting maintains more of the original
information's dynamic range but leads to a flatter image.
■
Hue—Controls the aspect of color that distinguishes it from
another color (what makes a color red, green, or blue). Hue
is distinct from saturation, which measures the intensity of
the hue.
■
Saturation—Controls the strength of color in the final image.
A higher saturation setting creates a bolder image; a lower
saturation setting creates a more subtle image.
■
Sharpness—Controls the definition of edges in an image. A
higher sharpness setting creates a more defined image; a
lower sharpness setting creates a softer image.
