Lock camera settings

#1

Post by Roobay »

I frequently switch between my tracking/finder camera and imaging camera when centering/finding objects. Is there a way to lock the settings on each camera so I don't need to set gain/exposure,etc. every time I select one or the other camera?

Hi and welcome

You can save and manage different Capture Profiles.
In this screenshot you can see it on the top right.

Hi,

Menno is exactly right - capture profiles are the way to go here. More documentation on them available here : https://docs.sharpcap.co.uk/4.0/#Capture%20Profiles

Note that you can set a particular profile as 'default' for each camera - those settings will then get loaded automatically when you open the camera.

cheers,

Robin
