Horizontal and vertical mirror function
(only Guppy F-036/F-503)
The Guppy F-036/F-503 CMOS cameras are equipped with a horizontal and
vertical mirror function, which is built directly into the sensor. The mirror is
centered to the actual FOV center and can be combined with all image
manipulation functions, like binning.
This function is especially useful when the camera is looking at objects with
the help of a mirror or in certain microscopy applications.
White balance
There are two types of white balance:
• one-push white balance: white balance is done only once (not contin-
uously)
• auto white balance (AWB): continuously optimizes the color character-
istics of the image
Guppy color cameras have both one-push white balance and auto white
balance.
White balance is applied so that non-colored image parts are displayed non-
colored.
