Under the PCAM Color tab, make the appropriate adjustments from
the menu list to fine tune the image related parameters such as
Saturation, Contrast, Sharpness, Gamma or set to Default.
Saturation
is an expression for the relative bandwidth of the visible
output from a light source. As saturation increases, colors appear
more pure and as it decreases, colors appear more washed out.
Contrast
is the degree of difference in tone between the light and dark
parts of an image. The higher the contrast the brighter the image and
the lower the contrast the darker it will become.
Sharpness
determines how crisp the image quality looks. For
example, when sharpness is high, the picture will look crisp and edges
will be well-defined.
Gamma
measures the nonlinear relationship between brightness and
voltage output, which affects the contrast in the mid-level grays, and
can be adjusted without significantly affecting the shadows and
highlights in an image.
White Balance
is not recommended to be changed and be set at
Auto, unless the video colors shifts unstably.
Under
Light Source
you can adjust up to four settings of your lighting
environment such as Office (fluorescent), Home (incandescent),
Outdoors, and All Purpose.
In
Exposure
, it is recommended to be set at Auto or you can have the
option to adjust to your required capture image since most cameras
determine the exposure by averaging all the light that enters the lens.
Keep in mind when changes are made, click the
