set the Lens Type to Auto-Iris (DC). (See Lens Type below.) NOTE: This setting will result in a low
level of dynamic range.
White Balance Bias
White Balance allows for the adjustment of the relative amounts of red, green, and blue in an image,
such that neutral colors are reproduced more accurately. White Balance changes the overall mixture of
colors to render colors and whites as true as possible.
To adjust colors based on lighting conditions and compensate for ambient light color, use the White
Balance Bias. The best way to adjust
this setting is to place a white piece of
paper over 25% of the image center
and tweak the White Balance Bias to
reproduce as closely as possible the
color of the paper. Possible values
range from -2,000 to 2,000. A
negative offset adds a blue tint to the
image, whereas a positive value adds
red.
Lens Type
The Lens Type determines how the sensor’s iris is adjusted. The iris of a camera, much like the iris of
the human eye, controls the quantity of light that penetrates the camera. The wider the iris is open,
the more light is allowed to go through and the brighter the image will be. There are two lens types:
• Auto-Iris: In this mode, the sensor will automatically adjust the iris to produce an ideal level of
light.
• Manual: In this mode, the user will have to adjust the sensor manually for the desired amount
of light to penetrate the iris.
