Camera Settings - Axis P1343 User Manual

Camera Settings

This page provides access to the advanced image settings for AXIS P1343/-E/AXIS P1344/-E.
Image Appearance
Color level - Select an appropriate level by entering a value in the range 0-100. Lower values mean less color saturation,
whilst the value 100 gives maximum color saturation.
Brightness - The image brightness can be adjusted in the range 0-100, where a higher value produces a brighter image.
Sharpness - Controls the amount of sharpening applied to the image. A sharper image might increase image noise especially
in low light conditions. A lower setting reduces image noise, but the image would be less sharp.
Contrast - Adjust the image's contrast by raising or lowering the value in this field.
White Balance
This is used to compensate for the different colors present in different light sources, to make the colors in the image appear
the same. AXIS P1343/P1344 can be set to automatically identify the light source and compensate for its color. Alternatively,
the type of light source can be manually selected from the drop-down list. Please see the online help files
description of each available setting.
Wide Dynamic Range
Check the box Enable Dynamic Contrast to improve the exposure when there is a considerable contrast between light and
dark areas in an image.
Exposure Settings
Configure the exposure settings to suit the image quality requirements in relation to lighting, frame rate and bandwidth
considerations.
Exposure value - Click in the bar to fine-tune the exposure. Increasing the exposure will improve image quality at the
expense of the total frame rate. There may also be an increase in motion blur.
Exposure control - This setting is used to remove 50 or 60 Hz flicker caused by a fluorescent light source. The Hold current
option locks the current exposure settings.
Enable Backlight compensation - Backlight compensation makes the subject appear clearer when the image background is
too bright, or the subject is too dark.
Exposure zones - This setting determines which part of the image is used to calculate the exposure. For most situations, the
Auto settings can be used, but for particular requirements, select Defined and click Edit... to open the Exposure Windows
dialog where you can customize the exposure zone. See the online help
IR cut filter - Set the IR cut filter to Off to allow the camera to "see" infrared light,; it increases the light sensitivity, for
example at night. The image is shown in black & white when the IR cut filter is off. Set to Auto to automatically switch
between On and Off according to the lighting conditions.
Exposure priority - This defines the balance between image quality and frame rate. Prioritizing Motion minimizes motion
blur but may result in reduced image quality with a higher frame rate. Selecting Low noise provides better image quality
with a lower frame rate. The Shutter and Gain settings can be used to further adjust the amount of motion blur and noise
in the image. See the online help
Enable automatic iris adjustment - This box should always be checked except when using a fixed iris.
