Color camera exposure in microseconds (µs) and ISO sensitivity.

Each sensor model may have different exposure and ISO ranges. Newer sensors and plugins usually have more flexible ranges.

  • auto is the default; exposure and ISO is automatically chosen.
  • [1..5000000] exposure is the length of time the color camera receives light to create one frame. Time is measured in microseconds, except for dp.kinect.
  • [100..1600] ISO is the sensitivity to light of the color camera.

dp.kinect

dp.kinect uses the old attribute @exposure to set color exposure time. The default is automatic color exposure. To set a specific color exposure, disable automatic color exposure and then set the exposure, e.g. @autoexposure 0 @exposure 166.

Exposure time is measured in units of 1/10000 second. Therefore, @autoexposure 0 @exposure 166.6 is a 16.66 millisecond exposure. The range of possible exposure units is [1.0..4000.0].
