Save settings for each camera ?

#1

Post by Luxo »

Hi,

I use typically three cameras - an OSC for imaging, one for guiding, and another as a finder. But switching from one to another, SharpCap seems to only have one set of settings which it tries to apply, notably:
- zoom,
- crosshairs (on/off and position),
- exposure,
- gain,
- colour balance.

Is it possible to make it remember the settings when switching from one camera to another and back again ? Its kind of tedious having to reset zoom, gain and exposure every time, especially.

Hi,

you can have completely separate sets of SharpCap settings by using the /instance command line option. See this recent thread for info on how it works and how to create the shortcuts with the command line parameter applied : viewtopic.php?p=38324#p38324

cheers,

That's a pretty clunky way to do it. Hmmm.
well so be it, pity.
