Shading correction
Owing to technical circumstances, the interaction of recorded objects with
one another, optical effects and lighting non-homogeneities may occur in
the images.
Because these effects are normally not desired, they should be eliminated as
far as possible in subsequent image editing. The camera has automatic shad-
ing correction to do this.
Provided that a shading image is present in the camera, the
on/off
bit can
be used to enable shading correction.
The
on/off
and
ShowImage
bits must be set for saved shading images to be
displayed.
Note
•
Always make sure that the shading image is saved at
the highest resolution of the camera. If a lower resolu-
tion is chosen and
ShowImage
is set to
true
, the image
will not be displayed correctly.
•
The shading image is computed using the current video
settings. On fixed video modes the selected frame rate
also affects the computation time.
