Auto Gain Mode 

 
When operating in this mode, the camera tries to reach the desired brightness level of the picture by adjusting 
Analog Gain Level. Steps to set Auto Gain Mode: 
 

1.

 

Define Desired Brightness Level 

 

 

Figure 15 – Brightness Level 

 

2.

 

Define  Auto  Gain  Minimum  and  Maximum  Gain.  These  parameters  define  the  limits  for  analog  gain 
adjustment. By default, these values will be set to maximum and minimum possible values.
