Wrong file format selection

#1

Post by MrAstroBen »

Altair or ZWO camera
Save profile after deselecting auto file format and choosing .ser

Re open sharpcap, reload the saved profile and sometimes it chooses fits instead of the file type in use at the time of pressing save

Preference set to .ser for video and fits for stills.

Also, sometime after making adjustments to some sliders the save option remains grey?

Thanks Rob

Hi,

check out the docs - https://docs.sharpcap.co.uk/3.2/#Saving%20Options - turn off the setting 'Start cameras with ‘Auto’ output format'.

I will have a look to see if I can see the save option not enabling myself.

cheers,

Robin
