Deactivate all filters that might be active in your camera or camera driver (e.g. no smoothing and no
extra sharpness). Prefer "raw" images.

Be careful with "gain", since this introduces noise to the scans. For many cameras and situations the
lowest (or 0 db) gain value works best.

The 

Exposure

 should be set to the same value as the frame rate of the projector (usually 1/60s), otherwise

the camera image will flicker / pulsate when looking at the projection. Increase exposure in multiple of
projector frame rate (e.g. to 1/30) only in cases when your object is too dark.

Camera properties are handled and stored for scanning and texturing separately.

Projector Control

With 

Projector Brightness

 you can reduce the maximum projector brightness digitally. The default value is

the maximum value of 255.

Depending on the used projector, drastic decreases of projector brightness (e.g. from 255 to 20) can
have a significant impact on scan quality. Not only noise will increase, but in some cases you will also
notice waves in your scans.
