DCx Camera Functional Description and SDK Manual
4.3.88 is_SetGamma
Syntax
INT is_SetGamma (HIDS hCam, INT nGamma)
Description
is_SetGamma() enables digital gamma correction which applies a gamma characteristic to the
image. When hardware color conversion is used on GigE uEye HE cameras the gamma correction
is performed in the camera hardware as well. When the color conversion is performed in the PC
(software conversion) the gamma correction is performed in software.
Notes
1. When the color format is set to Raw Bayer the gamma correction can not be used.
2. Typical values for gamma range between 1.6 and 2.2.
Input parameters
Gamma value to be set, multiplied by 100
(Range: 1…1000.
Default = 100, corresponds to a gamma value
of 1.0)
Returns the current setting.
