.. _manual_exposure:

Enable manual exposure and its adjustment function
===================================================

Using the ``SetOptionValue()`` function of the API, you can set various control values for the current open device.

To enabling manual exposure, set ``Option::EXPOSURE_MODE`` to ``1``.

For mynteye s1030, during manual exposure, the settings available for adjustment are:

* ``Option::GAIN`` Gain.
* ``Option::BRIGHTNESS`` Brightness (Exposure time).
* ``Option::CONTRAST`` Contrast (Black level calibration).

For mynteye s2100/s210a, during manual exposure, the settings available for adjustment are:

* ``Option::BRIGHTNESS`` Brightness (Exposure time).


Reference Code:

s1030：

.. code-block:: c++

  auto &&api = API::Create(argc, argv);

  // manual-exposure: 1
  api->SetOptionValue(Option::EXPOSURE_MODE, 1);

  // gain: range [0,48], default 24
  api->SetOptionValue(Option::GAIN, 24);
  // brightness/exposure_time: range [0,240], default 120
  api->SetOptionValue(Option::BRIGHTNESS, 120);
  // contrast/black_level_calibration: range [0,255], default 127
  api->SetOptionValue(Option::CONTRAST, 127);

  LOG(INFO) << "Enable manual-exposure";
  LOG(INFO) << "Set GAIN to " << api->GetOptionValue(Option::GAIN);
  LOG(INFO) << "Set BRIGHTNESS to " << api->GetOptionValue(Option::BRIGHTNESS);
  LOG(INFO) << "Set CONTRAST to " << api->GetOptionValue(Option::CONTRAST);

s2100/s210a：

.. code-block:: c++

  auto &&api = API::Create(argc, argv);

  bool ok;
  auto &&request = api->SelectStreamRequest(&ok);
  if (!ok) return 1;
  api->ConfigStreamRequest(request);

  // manual-exposure: 1
  api->SetOptionValue(Option::EXPOSURE_MODE, 1);

  // brightness/exposure_time: range [0,240], default 120
  api->SetOptionValue(Option::BRIGHTNESS, 120);

  LOG(INFO) << "Enable manual-exposure";
  LOG(INFO) << "Set EXPOSURE_MODE to "
            << api->GetOptionValue(Option::EXPOSURE_MODE);
  LOG(INFO) << "Set BRIGHTNESS to "
            << api->GetOptionValue(Option::BRIGHTNESS);
