10.7 Auto Functions
10.7.1 Common Characteristics
Auto functions control image properties and are the "automatic" counterparts of certain features,
such as the gain feature or the white balance feature, which normally require "manually" setting the
related parameter values. Auto functions are particularly useful when an image property must be
adjusted quickly to achieve a specific target value and when a specific target value must be kept
constant in a series of images.
An Auto Function Area of Interest (Auto Function AOI) lets you designate a specific part of the
image as the base for adjusting an image property. Each auto function uses the pixel data from an
Auto Function AOI for automatically adjusting a parameter value and, accordingly, for controlling
the related image property. Some auto functions always share an Auto Function AOI.
An auto function automatically adjusts a parameter value until the related image property reaches
a target value, and the parameter value cannot be manually set.
For some auto functions, the target value is fixed. For other auto functions, the target value can be
set, as can the limits between which the related parameter value will be automatically adjusted. For
example, the gain auto function lets you set an average gray value for the image as a target value
and also set a lower and an upper limit for the gain parameter value.
Generally, the different auto functions can operate at the same time. For more information, see the
following sections describing the individual auto functions.
Note that on cameras delivered from the factory, all auto functions will become
disabled whenever you power on or reset the camera.
If you load the auto functions factory set as the default configuration set and the
default configuration set is designated as the "startup" set, by default the exposure
auto function is enabled.
To change this behavior, you must change the configuration set settings. For more
information about configuration sets, see Section 10.19 on page 254.
The auto functions feature will not work, if the sequencer feature is enabled. For
more information about the sequencer feature, see Section 10.10 on page 192.
