The camera provides settings to compensate for common lighting problems.
n
Auto Iris
allows the camera to compensate automatically for the light level.
n
Backlight Compensation
reduces contrast to adjust for bright light behind the main subject of the
shot. Use this if the subject is in front of a window, projector screen, or other bright area and appears as
a silhouette. This setting can't be used with Wide Dynamic Range.
n
Wide Dynamic Range
automatically darkens bright areas and brightens dark areas to provide a more
properly exposed image in challenging lighting conditions. This setting can't be used with Backlight
Compensation.
n
Point Light Compensation
reduces the intensity of small, extremely bright areas (point light sources)
that would otherwise swamp the camera with light and make it difficult to see details in areas with less
intense lighting.
This setting is only available on the RoboSHOT 12E USB and RoboSHOT 30E USB
cameras. It is on the System page, General tab.
