Image Capture Preferences 10 - 7
Gain/Exposure Priority for Snapshot Mode
Parameter # 562
SSI # F1h 32h
This parameter alters the imager’s gain exposure priority when it acquires an image in Snapshot Mode while in
autoexposure mode. Scan one of the following bar codes:
•
Low Exposure Priority - The imager favors higher gain over exposure to capture an image, resulting in an
image that is less susceptible to motion blur at the expense of noise artifacts. However, for most applications,
the amount of noise is acceptable.
•
Low Gain Priority - The imager favors longer exposure time rather than higher gain to capture an image,
ensuring the image is less noisy and produces fewer artifacts during post processing activities like image
enhancement (sharpening). This mode is recommended for fixed mount / fixed object image capture since
the image acquired is susceptible to motion blur.
•
Autodetect (default) - The imager automatically selects Gain Priority or Low Exposure Priority mode for
Snapshot Mode. If the imager is in a magnetic reed switch-enabled stand (or it is configured in Blink Mode), it
uses Low Gain Priority. Otherwise, it uses the Low Exposure Priority.
