[Full automatic control]

This full automatic control mode provides

a very easy way to get the best out of your

Philips SPZ3000 webcam. Or you can choose

to have maximum manual control over

the webcam settings by switching the full

automatic control mode off. Full automatic

control ‘on’ is the preferred setting for normal

use.

Techniques active within full automatic control

mode are:

Automatic exposure control and •

automatic white balance control, to

provide the best video source signal

possible;

Automatic frame rate selection for •

improved webcam sensitivity in low

light conditions.

[Frame rate]

A frame is a single picture or still shot, that is

shown as part of a larger video or movie. The

frame rate is the number of frames displayed

per second. The higher the frame rate, the

better the video display but the higher the

load on the processor.

You can use the scroll open menu to set

the frame rate of the video that you wish to

capture. For example, 30 fps means that the

webcam will capture video at 30 frames per

second.

[Auto Exposure]

The exposure is the amount of light received

by the sensor and is determined by how long

the sensor is exposed to capture a snapshot

or video frame. The result depends on the

sensitivity of the sensor. The webcam will  nd

the optimal setting if you select the automatic

exposure option.

[Shutter Speed]

The shutter speed determines how long the

camera shutter remains open as a picture

is taken. The slower the shutter speed, the

longer the exposure time. The shutter speed

controls the total amount of light reaching the

sensor.

Use the slider to set the desired shutter

speed.

[Gain]

In video, gain is the amount of white in a video

picture. Use the slider to set the desired gain

level.

the webcam settings to the default factory

settings.

[Restore]

Press this button if you would like to restore

your preferred settings.

[Save]

Press this button if you would like to save your

preferred settings.

[Auto White Balance]

Most light sources are not 100% pure white

but have a certain ‘color temperature’.

Normally our eyes compensate for lighting

conditions with different color temperatures.

If the automatic white balance is selected,

the webcam will look for a reference point
