Changing camera gain
Gain is an electronic amplification of the video signal.
The higher the dB value, the brighter the image, however there will also be more noise as a result which
may make the overall video quality seem poor. Sometimes it is worth having a slightly higher gain at the
expense of noise in order to bring the shutter speed down to get sharp frame by frame video of an object
(e.g club at impact, baseball bat etc).
Having gain set to auto is preferable in changing light conditions, but if you have an indoors environment
setting gain to manual is the better way to go.
