The camera permits photographs up to a maximum resolution of 1200 x 1600 pixels. For simple tests and presentations you will find the demo program under the start menu at Pictures & Video.

Please do not use camera and imager at the same time so that the separate functions do not interfere with each other.

How can I use the camera from my own application and assign a hardware key from the keyboard to take a picture?

The necessary functions are part of our Camera Library from the SDK.

Flash

While you are working in a very dark environment it is advisable to use both flash and illumination simultaneously. For best results it might be necessary to play a little bit around with different values (e.g. soft or full flash in combination with soft or full illumination) or to use illumination only.

Otherwise all pictures will be underexposed.
