Configuring the Camera
Gain Limit
- When automatic gain control is enabled (see Exposure Mode above), the Gain Limit
parameter sets the maximum amount of gain that the automatic gain control can use. If the Gain
Limit is set to "Off", there will be no limit for the automatic gain control.
Gain
- When automatic gain control is disabled (see Exposure Mode above), the Gain parameter
sets the gain for the captured images. Gain refers to the amount of amplification that is applied to
the pixel values in each captured image. A higher setting means more amplification.
Note that if automatic gain control is enabled, the Gain parameter will be read only and will indicate
the current gain value as set by the automatic control.

White Balance Mode
Auto = The camera will automatically adjust the white balance and the white balance

adjustments will be continuously updated as lighting conditions change. The white balance
control will assume average lighting conditions.
The automatic white balance control attempts to continuously balance the intensity of the red,
green, and blue pixels in the captured images so that the white areas of the captured images
always appear white (and not, for example, red tinted or green tinted).
Note that the operation of the automatic white balancing function will be strongly influenced by
the placement of the white balance mask. For more information about the white balance mask,
see page 25.
Auto Preset = The camera will attempt to identify the type of lighting present (i.e., daylight,

incandescent, fluorescent, etc.) and then will automatically adjust the white balance based on
the lighting type detected. This selection works best when the lighting conditions are uniform.
Daylight = The camera will automatically change the white balance settings so that they are

biased for daylight lighting conditions (a color temperature of 5500 K). Once the settings are
changed, the white balance will stay fixed at that point.
Incandescent = The camera will automatically change the white balance settings so that they

are biased for incandescent lighting (a color temperature of 3000 K). Once the settings are
changed, the white balance will stay fixed at that point.

Sharpness
- Sets the sharpness of the images transmitted by the
camera. Higher settings produce sharper images.
Saturation
- Sets the color saturation of the images transmitted by
the camera. Higher settings produce more saturated (colorful)
images.
Gamma
- Sets the degree of gamma correction applied to captured
images. Gamma corrects the captured images for non-linearities in
the human eye's perception of brightness.
A setting of 100 represents a gamma correction factor of 1, and the
appearance of the captured images will not be changed. A setting of
50 represents a gamma correction factor of 0.5. A setting of 150
represents a gamma correction factor of 1.5.
- Sets the camera's automatic white balance mode.
