Description
This creates a white balance bias towards yellow (left) or blue (right). If AWB (see
above) is set to Push button, the effect of this regulator is only visible after a
white balance has been carried out with the AWB button (outside the OSD
menu).
The camera's images are in sRGB color space with an 8 bit color depth per
channel. The color saturation per RGB value can be adjusted.

6.2.2 Exposure Menu

Illustration 7: Exposure menu
Description
AET (automatic exposure time) and AGC (auto gain control) automatically ensure
the correct brightness of the image when the setting is at Continuous. The
settings are Once / Continuous / Off.
In some situations (e.g. strong contrasts on the specimen) the automatic setting
may cause the image to be under- or overexposed. In this case the automatic
setting can be deactivated by switching to Off.
A shorter exposure time with higher amplification (= more noise, but smoother
live image) or a longer exposure with lower amplification (= less noise, less
smooth live image) can be selected in "Off" mode.
In Once mode a one-time automatic adjustment will be carried out when
confirmed with OK, but then deactivated again.
Influences the AET / AGC control when Continuous mode is set.
