Figure 3: Camera configuration features that typically are not changed often are found in the Options tab.

Setting	Legal Values	Description
Genlock	Off Master Slave External	Synchronize frame capture across multiple cameras. Genlock is a multi-camera arrangement where a master camera provides timing signals to one or more slave cameras. It is also possible to use an external timing source to control frame capture.
Extended Dynamic Range	Off A, B, C, D	Enhanced Dynamic Range EDR is a technique where a non-linear transfer function is used to allow a greater dynamic range of luminosity to fit in the same number of luminance data bits. SC1 cameras only.
Force Monochrome	Off On	Capture grayscale images instead of color images. Color cameras only.
Video Encoding	High, Medium, Low, Custom	Tradeoff Video Quality versus file size. The video encoding quality setting allows you to configure the camera to create smaller video files with the trade off of sacrificing video image quality.
Trigger Debounce	Off On	If debounce is on, a 5 ms debounce delay occurs between the falling Trigger edge and when the camera processes the falling edge. With debounce off, there is no delay and the falling edge is processed immediately.
Gamma Correction	Off On	For enhanced video post-processing, the camera's gamma correction can be disabled.Gamma correct must be applied somewhere in the workflow to get excellent image quality in the dark regions. If in doubt, leave Gamma Correction on.
Review before Saving	Off On	Review before saving allows you to capture one or more videos (depending on multishot setting) and once the videos have been captured, you can review the captured video, frame by frame, before saving. You select the starting frame to save and the ending frame to save. This allows you to discard leading and trailing portions of the video that are uninteresting thus reducing the time it takes to save a captured video.
Status Timeout	0 - 120	Seconds until the button box, current setting box, and multishot box (if in multishot mode) automatically hide during live preview. Moving the mouse causes the boxes to appear again.
