Set the exposure metering mode - Set the way in which the integrated color
camera determines the exposure for taking the color photos (if colored scan
recording is switched on).
Even Weighted Metering - To determine the exposure settings, the camera
will use the light information coming from the entire scene and averages
without giving weighting to a particular area.
Horizon Weighted Metering - With horizon weighted metering mode, the
camera will use the light information coming from the horizon to determine its
exposure setting. This mode is commonly used in scenarios with bright light
coming from directly above (e.g., indoors with bright ceiling lighting or
outdoors with bright sunlight)
Zenith Weighted Metering - With zenith weighted metering, the camera will
use the light information coming from above the scanner to determine its
exposure setting. Use this mode if there is very bright light coming from e.g.,
windows and if you want to achieve the most correct balance of light and
exposure for objects at the ceiling of building.
HDR mode The High Dynamic Range (HDR) imaging method merges images captured
with different exposure settings to one image with a greater dynamic range of
luminosity.
