3.4.3 Dual Image Exposure

In general, the exposure settings for the D16 are determined automatically or manually. In
any case, exposure is set separately for each image sensor using customizable exposure
windows. You can either select a pre-defined set of exposure windows (using the Exposure
Control quick control) or define a custom exposure window (in Setup Menu > Exposure
Settings) in the web browser .
In order to create an evenly lit, harmonious dual image, a D16-Panorama/180° (with two
individual images combined into a panorama image) uses both image sensors for exposure
measurement. The camera determines the best average exposure value for the combined
panorama image and automatically applies this value.
This function can also be activated for any D16 (Linked Image Control option). It ensures
that both camera images in the combined dual image appear equally bright so that it is
easier for the observer to associate these images with the same camera and/or the same
mounting location.
To activate this feature in the web browser, open Setup Menu > Exposure Settings and activate
the Linked Image Control option. Then save your settings by clicking on Set and then Close.
