Hi Bill,

since I found and answered the other copy first, I moved that one here into bug reports - I will lock this topic and continue the discussion as needed in the other copy.

Hi Bill, thanks for posting the log - from the details in it, it looks like this is very similar to another issue that I am currently trying to solve (https://forums.sharpcap.co.uk/viewtopic.php?t=7618).

Odd to drift left though (unless...

Hi, SharpCap auto-switches the LCG->HCG mode at the gain level where it is first valid to engage HCG. For the IMX410 sensor, that's 500 gain. Other applications do allow a manual LCG/HCG choice, but I feel that there are issues with that approach - for one thing, most users probably don't even under...
