    How do you color calibrate a camera?

I guess if the values...

    Weirdly enough i do not have the H variant but only h264 and h264B, if h264 is baseline and h264B is also baseline, what would then be the difference?

    Tips for adjusting camera video conditions

    So just basically you want as fast of a exposure as possible. All other video setting are set to help get the fastest exposure that retains a clear video. What does gain actually do? it brightens the image on the hardware level compared to brightness setting which is software? Im noticing that...
