Capture Mode
Capture mode defines the maximum resolution and maximum frame rate available in the Axis product. A capture mode with a large maximum resolution has a reduced maximum frame rate and vice versa.
The capture mode setting also affects the camera’s angle of view as the effective size of the image sensor differs between capture modes.
Capture mode is set the first time the product is accessed. Select the desired capture mode and click OK.
The capture mode setting reduces image flicker in fluorescent light environments as image data is sampled at a rate that matches the local power line frequency.
Capture mode is set the first time the product is accessed. Select the capture mode with the power line frequency (50 Hz or 60 Hz) used at the location of the Axis product and click OK.
When using 50 Hz, the maximum frame rate is limited to 25 fps.
Note
Power line frequency is different in different geographic regions. In the Americas, 60 Hz is usually used; most other parts of the world use 50 Hz. Local variations may apply, always check with the local authorities.

Changing capture mode when the product has been configured is not recommended as most other settings will be either removed or reset.

1.Go to Setup > Video & Audio > Camera Settings.
2.Select the new capture mode.
3.Click Save.
4.Review and reconfigure all settings, for example:

Image Appearance
Increasing the Color level increases the color saturation. The value 100 gives maximum color saturation. The value 0 gives a black and white image.
The image Brightness can be adjusted in the range
Increasing the Sharpness can increase bandwidth usage. A sharper image might increase image noise especially in low light conditions. A lower setting reduces image noise, but the whole image will appear less sharp.
The Contrast changes the relative difference between light and dark. It can be adjusted using the slidebar.
