Configuring the Falcon

Image Settings

1.JPEG Quality sets the desired qual- ity when the JPEG image format is selected. Selecting a higher quality results in a higher quality image, but a larger file.

2.Brightness allows you to set the brightness level the imager will use when taking images.

3.Edge Sharpness specifies how much the imager will attempt to sharpen edges in images it takes. Selecting the highest position on the slider gives the sharpest edges, but also increases noise in the image.

4.Gamma Correction measures the brightness of midtone values pro- duced by the image. You can brighten or darken an image using gamma correction. A higher gamma correction yields an overall brighter image. The lower the setting, the darker the image. Move the slider to change the amount of correction the imager applies when taking images.
