live view in color

jfrost599

Totally new to Zwo cameras.
I have just purchased a zwo ASI715mc color camera and installed drivers and Asicap software etc.
HAve not tried night photography yet as i am trying to learn software etc with camera looking out the window in the daytime. When i open AsiCap and select my camera, the live view is in black and white. It is selected as RAW8 etc, but no matter what i do the live view image is always black and white. I have adjusted exposure gain etc
I notice that the RAW Data box is checked and there is no way i can find of unchecking the Raw Data Box.
How do i get live view in color so others can watch screen.
I hope someone can help

Which version of ASIStudio did you download and install?
If you move your mouse over the right edge of the image frame (just to the left of the standard option frame), a line of additional options pop up such as zoom in/out, set image to fit the window, set image to 100%, etc. If you move your mouse over each, it will give you what the option will do. Down towards the middle of the list you will see a rectangle labeled "Set raw data view". Within that rectangle are four smaller rectangles. If the smaller rectangles inside that rectangle show two white and two black rectangles, then you have set the display up in black and white. If you click on that rectangle, it will change the the rectangle to two smaller green rectangles and one blue and one red rectangle. Now your image should show color.
The only image formats that are available in ASICap are Raw8 and Raw 16.
