Exposure
Exposure refers to the amount of light allowed to hit the photographic medium—in this case, the
sensor of the camera lens. In most circumstances, you will require a medium exposure allowing for the
maximum amount of detail.
Consider the following methods to achieve optimal exposure for your image:
• Change the exposure in the room – This could include using a desk lamp near the Ziggi to shine
additional light on the subject, turning on room lights, opening or closing curtains, etc.
• Change the EXP (Exposure Value): Ziggi is able to artificially alter exposure on a fifteen-point scale,
with 1 being the lowest (darkest) exposure value, and 15 being the highest (brightest) exposure value.
4 is the default value. If your image is too dark, consider increasing the EXP. Or, if your image is too
bright, decrease the EXP. The EXP may be changed on either the camera body itself or via the software.
Camera body:
Use the EXP +/- toggle for on-the-fly exposure adjustments. The software will
briefly indicate the change with an EXP number at the bottom of the image capture window,
and your exposure will instantly change.
Software:
Click on the Exposure tab. You may either click on areas within the grayscale bar to
change EXP, or drag the pointer to a value. Hitting “Default” will bring the exposure back to the
default value of 4.
