17.5.3 Adjusting the Camera: Camera groupbox
Exposure time: The longer the exposure time is, the brighter the image
will be. The image can, however, become less sharp as a result.
Change the exposure time using the slider control.
Gain: If you increase the gain value, the picture brightens. However, the
image quality suffers as a result; too much gain results in grainy images.
Change the gain setting on the slider control.
Auto Illumination: You can adjust the illumination with this function,
e.g. so as not to overexpose an image.
Press the button [Auto Illumination].
You can now adjust the illumination for the entire image capture.
