5. Adjust the offset. When you block the light thoroughly, you may find that the image is not
really "zero" (entirely black). Sometimes this will lower the quality of image contrast. You can
adjust the offset to make the histogram peak close to zero in order to get a better
background. You can open the histogram to confirm that.
QHY168C is a color camera, so it is very important to set the offset to a low value and make
the histogram peak close to zero. Because the color camera color balance is to multiply a
ratio to the pixel value in the FPGA. The bias will be multiplied too and it may affect the color
balance.
6. If you want to try 16bit image, you can switch the Colour Space to "RAW16".
7. By check the "LX" mode you can expand the exposure setting range and take long exposure
shot. QHY168C camera has the anti-amp light control circuit and it can reduce the amplifier
glow significantly. For more information about its anti-amp light control function, please
check its corresponding webpage.
