Controls for manual change of camera exposure are located on the right panel in the Hardware plugins tab:
- Current exposure time in seconds / current exposure time in microseconds / current gain in dB (you can change the displayed information by left mouse button click on this field).
- Up/down buttons can be used to tune exposure (if in the field 1 was selected the showing of the current exposure time) or gain (if in the field 1 was selected the showing of the current gain).
- Current FPS (frames per second) value is display for live view.
- Gain level indicator. The higher the gain level - the brighter the resulting image from camera and image has more noise. We recommend to increase gain only if there is not enough light in the scene, but you need a big FPS of videostream.
