42 Exposure Settings
Open the Exposure Settings dialog to adjust the exposure settings of the camera and to optimize it for the
current lighting condition.
The MOBOTIX camera is equipped with several automatic features so that the best possible images can be
created under all weather and lighting conditions. Normally, only extreme conditions call for manual
modifications of the exposure settings.
When modifying settings manually, you should always start with the factory default settings.
Notes:
• Some of these settings can be changed using the pull−down menus above the image on the Live
screen.
• Click on the More button to display all options of the dialog.
42.1 Description of Parameters
Automatic Contrast
It is recommended that this setting always has the value Auto in
order to create high−contrast images under all lighting conditions.
Brightness
Changing the Brightness parameter will adjust the entire image
area.
Notes:
• Configure the Exposure Fields first (see below). This is
usually sufficient to achieve good image exposure.
• If setting the exposure fields does not produce satisfying
images, you may want to use the Brightness parameter
for fine tuning.
• Selecting high values for this parameter that are too high
may lead to overexposure of bright image areas.
Backlight
This parameter also is used for adjusting the brightness of an
image. However, it only affects the darker portions of an image.
Notes:
• Configure the Exposure Fields first (see below). This is
usually sufficient to achieve good image exposure.
• If setting the exposure fields does not produce satisfying
images, you may want to use the Backlight Correction
parameter for fine tuning.
