Display control and image control

Hi there I have been trying for days now to achieve focus but no luck yet. On the image control panel the Gamma and Contrast are both (sliders) greyed out and the only ones I can adjust are on the display control panel. What other settings do I have to move in order to get them both adjustable. I have elected and reinstalled the latest version. I am running the programme on a HP Pavillion with Windows 7. Also what is the difference between mono8 and mono12?

See MONO8 and MONO16 (MONO12) here http://docs.sharpcap.co.uk/2.9/#Colour% ... 0Explained for information on Colour Spaces.

What camera do you have?

There is a control 'Digital Processing' which you have to turn to 'On (Slower)' to enable the gamma/brightness/contrast for the Altair cameras.

If you are planning on stacking your images it is usually better not to perform this sort of digital processing on the individual frames, but to capture the frames as-is, stack and then adjust at the end.

cheers,

Robin
