Hi all,
I have had the above camera for a while now and has been working great, I was getting around 13.7 fps while testing at full resolution in preview mode in daytime on auto exposure, in think is about the norm for a mid range speed laptop, according to a few other posts I have read, on other forums.
I have since upgraded to the newer versions of Sharpcap and the new Beta Firecapture software, also,the ASI camera driver, and since then I still get around the same frame rates, but the picture is very flickery and also it is dropping around half of the frames just when previewing.
I have found this new setting that was not there before, well I don't think it was, the USB traffic setting and it's default is set at 80%, I have lowered this to 40% and solved all the issues.
But my question is what was this setting running at by default before the feature was there to adjust, because it ran fine before, so would it have been an automatic setting and would have lowered itself to 40% without the user knowing! and now it has been made adjustable?? So basically it worked fine before the upgrades while (I assume) on the default 80% setting.
And what effect will it have on my imaging having this setting as low as 40%, when the default is 80% ??
Seems a big reduction to me, but through all this my frame rates have not changed, whether USB traffic setting at 40% or 80% the frame rate at maximum res is 13.7fps, but at the higher traffic setting most of the frames are dropped and the picture breaks up every few seconds, at the lower all is fine.
Hope that makes sense, and some could help answer my questions..........
Regards
Olly
