Using Your Camera
Low Light Mode
The QuickCam
®
software allows you to make adjustments to camera settings.
One adjustment that increases the brightness and contrast of an image under low light
conditions, while the camera is connected to your computer, is Low Light Mode.
When QuickCam
®
Traveler
™
is in Low Light Mode, it finds the brightest point in its field of
view, examines other points around the bright point, then adjusts the gain automatically.
Gain is the amount of light that is captured by the camera.
To activate Low Light Mode, click the Settings button, which is available in most
QuickCam software dialog boxes, then select Advanced Camera Settings. Finally, select
Low Light Boost.
