9. Click the
icon in the tool bar or click Camera in the menu bar and select Continuous Shot
from the drop down menu.
The camera will begin to acquire images continuously. The acquired images are displayed in an
image display window as shown below.
With the current camera settings, the images you are seeing may be very dark or perhaps even
black. The following steps assume that the current images are too dark.
10. Increase the Exposure Time setting enough so that your image brightness is almost at the
desired level. (The viewer is capturing and displaying images continuously, so you should see
the effect of any setting change almost immediately.)
11. If required, increase the Gain setting slightly to improve the contrast.
Note: Make sure that detail is still visible in the brightest parts of the image. Increasing the Gain
too much can cause the brightest parts of the image to lose detail. Increasing the Gain too much
can also increase the noise in the acquired images.
12. Adjust the focus ring on the lens so that the image is properly focused.
13. Adjust the lens aperture to fine tune the overall image brightness. Also take note of the depth
of focus in the acquired images. Adjusting the aperture affects the depth of focus. (The next
section contains more information about depth of focus.)
14. Make fine adjustments to the Black Level to ensure that detail is still visible in the darkest parts
of the acquired images. (The next section contains more information about brightness.)
