You can now stop the grab, add a lens and adjust other camera parameters—such as Line Rate, Exposure
time, etc. to develop your imaging application.

Refer to the camera’s user’s manual for a description of all of the available camera commands.
Flat Field Correction Overview
The Flat Field Correction function (FFC) uses two coefficients per pixel to correct the gain and offset of the
corresponding pixel. These corrections compensate for Photo-Response Non-uniformity (PRNU) and Fix
Pattern Noise (FPN) unique to each camera sensor.
Note: it is important that you perform the FFC calibration under the same conditions the camera will be used
in.
Before calibration, the camera should be powered on long enough to achieve its nominal temperature. The
exposure time and camera internal temperature need to be similar to the expected operating conditions—
otherwise, image sensor variations (over temperature and exposure) will render the FFC calibration invalid.
The current camera version supports an FFC calibration through Sapera CamExpert, while the FFC correction
is done in the camera device.
The following is a brief overview of the main calibration steps for users already familiar with the Flat Field
Correction.
