Image Flickering with oCam-1MGN-U: Global Shutter Camera #16

Hello, When testing the oCam-1MGN-U: Global Shutter Camera, I have image flickering making the camera unusable. How do I get rid of this flickering? It seems like an autogain is running on the device but it is unstable. Is there a way to turn of autogain if it exists? Thank you for your help!

The oCam-1MGN-U does not hav an auto-gain function. Most of the cases, the flickering comes from the surrounding lighting.

I would recommend you to change the FPS first and then the exposure time. If you still see the flickering for any settings, please send us a request to withrobot@withrobot.com so that we can send you a recording software for Windows. With this we can review your problem more closely.
