SharpCap Forums

Hello Robin,

I remarked with my QHY-600 camera that some additional camera controls are present.

I mean:
AUTOEXPOSURE
AutoEXPThreshold
AutoEXPMaskMode
DPC
DPC_value

I tested it ... but nothing changed.
Are these new controls activated ? and what will be the function ?

If these controls stay, could you think to have 2 "Camera Controls" ?
Fox example in "Camera Controls 1": Exposure, Quick Picks, Gain, Offset, Frame Rate, Exposure/Gain Shift
And in "Camera Controls 2": all the other controls that are not used or very rare.

The reason ... the "Camera Controls" is longer and longer, then it is necessary to scroll permanently between Camera Controls, Display and Scope Controls.

Best regards,
Jean-Francois

Hi Jean-Francois,

I wonder if we have ended up with a slightly debug version of the QHY SDK in order to get the GPS fix more quickly? What you are seeing is some additional controls that QHY can make available via a special API that helps them test new functionality without me needing to add support in SharpCap for the extra controls. I suspect that since they are really meant for internal use, they didn't really bother too much with the logic about whether a control should show for a particular camera.

I will add an option to hide these...

cheers,

Robin

Hello Robin,

Yes, please hide the control with no function ... that will reduce the number of the camera controls.

Hi Jean-Francois,

in the next update they will be off by default, and if turned on will appear in a separate 'Misc Controls' group.

cheers,

Robin
