5.7. Record Settings

The Record Settings dialog box allows the user to select the recording parameters. The images may be acquired directly to RAM or to the selected directory on the hard disk. When images are recorded they are streamed to HOST RAM. The maximum number of images that can be streamed at the video rate to HOST memory depends on the maximum system capacity and the number that the user allows. When a longer record is required, the file storage feature needs to be enabled. In this case the system acquires to RAM followed to a write to disk until the desired record length is achieved.

Acquisitions directory

Browse to the directory of selections for saving acquired images. This is the parent directory for the saved images. Each time the images are recorded a new sub-directory containing the actual image files is created.

Samples / Images

The parameter indicates the total number of samples recorded in the acquisition. If the camera is in double exposure modes, each sample is an image pair and the number of images is two times the number of samples. If the camera is in single exposure mode, samples and images correspond.

Memory Limit

This parameter limits the amount of RAM memory that can be used to acquire the images. If the "System" value is set, the application reserves 50% of the system memory.

Free memory

The progress bar indicates the amount of available memory according to the memory limit.

Sharp has long been a name associated with high-quality electronics, and its foray into the digital camera market showcases the company's commitment to innovation and excellence. The Sharp Digital Camera is designed to cater to both amateur photographers and seasoned professionals, combining user-friendly interfaces with advanced imaging technologies.

One of the standout features of Sharp's digital camera is its high-resolution sensor. Many models are equipped with sensors exceeding 20 megapixels, allowing for stunning detail and clarity in images. This high resolution is complemented by Sharp's proprietary image processing technology, which enhances color accuracy, contrast, and overall image quality. The result is vibrant photos that truly capture the essence of the moment.

In terms of optics, Sharp digital cameras often incorporate high-quality lenses with fast apertures. This enables photographers to shoot in various lighting conditions, from bright daylight to low-light environments. The cameras' optical zoom capabilities allow users to capture distant subjects without sacrificing clarity, making them ideal for landscape photography and wildlife shots.

Another notable characteristic of Sharp digital cameras is their advanced autofocus systems. Utilizing phase detection and contrast detection technologies, these cameras can quickly and accurately focus on subjects, ensuring that even fast-moving scenes are captured with precision. The inclusion of face detection and tracking enhances user experience, making it easier to take stunning portraits.

For video enthusiasts, Sharp digital cameras also offer impressive video recording capabilities. Many models support 4K video recording, which ensures that footage is both detailed and immersive. Features such as image stabilization help reduce shake, allowing for smooth video capture even in dynamic situations.

The user-friendly interface of Sharp cameras is another key selling point. Touchscreen controls and intuitive layouts make navigating through settings simple, even for those who may not be tech-savvy. Additionally, built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity enable seamless sharing of images and videos to mobile devices and social media platforms.

Durability is also a consideration in Sharp's design. Many models feature weather sealing that protects against dust and moisture, which is essential for outdoor photography. This rugged build is complemented by compact and lightweight designs, allowing for easy portability.

In summary, Sharp digital cameras are a blend of advanced imaging technology, excellent optical performance, and user-friendly features. Whether capturing breathtaking nature scenes or precious family moments, these cameras present an exceptional option for anyone looking to elevate their photography experience.
