is turned off the 13 MPx image is down-sampled to 8 MPx and used for colorization (identical to Focus
S
and Focus
S
Plus models).
HDR Mode
NOTE:
The HDR, Night, and Speed modes are mutually exclusive.
The High Dynamic Range (HDR) imaging method merges images captured with different exposure
settings into a single image with a greater dynamic range of luminosity.
Scanning with HDR Capturing
Set the HDR capturing by tapping
+
or
-
, ranging from 2x to 5x. This setting corresponds to the exposure
levels. If no option is selected, then OFF is displayed.
NOTE:
When HDR is enabled, a larger number of captured images result in a longer capturing time.
The processing time is thus longer in SCENE or Sphere.
Night Mode
Select night mode to improve the quality of color photos under relatively dark lighting conditions.
Enabling night mode significantly increases the scan duration.
NOTE:
For best scanning results, enable
Night Mode
in combination with either
Horizon Weighted
Metering
or
Zenith Weighted Metering
. Very dark lighting conditions may lead to a poor
picture quality, even if night mode is activated. This can lead to grainy images and other
artifacts.
Speed Mode
Select Speed Mode to reduce the scan duration. This happens at the cost of color picture quality. This
mode is fastest and should be used in bright environments.
Advanced Settings
Parameters > Advanced Settings
Clear Contour
- Enables the dynamic contour filter. This hardware filter removes scan points that
resulted from the laser spot hitting two objects. This usually happens at the edges of objects.
