Temperature display for non-cooled cameras

#1

Post by MarMax »

Referring to SC 4.1, the temperature display under Camera Controls for non-cooled cameras is always greyed out. This makes it quite dim and hard to read during the day. I use DIY TEC's to cool my non-cooled cameras during the day to take flats that are a closer match to typical night time temperatures, usually 15-20C. I understand the temperature is greyed out because it's not adjustable but I would be helpful if it were brighter so I can see it during the day.

Thank you,
Mike

Hi Mike,

thanks for the suggestion - I think it may be possible to change the colours to give a bit more contrast, although I have to avoid making it look too much like an active, editable value.

cheers,

Robin

Ah, interesting, looks like the graying out is done using transparency. The default was to make it 44% transparent, so I will reduce that to 30% transparent which boosts the contrast somewhat while still making it obviously different from an active control.

cheers,

Robin
