Poor exposure problem. Unpacked

There appears to be a fault on this board which is causing poor exposure. UPDATE: After learning how to set up and customize the camera using a Linux application called guvcview. I managed to get a usable image. The setting in Windows is most likely a w10 driver update which could potentially fix this.

Pros
  • Electronics
Cons
  • Wrinkled

Works perfectly. Not sure why there was a 1 star rating without a written review.

I was a little afraid to buy it as it had the only 1 star rating. However, Arducam does some pretty good stuff, so I had little to no reason to believe this product would be as terrible as the review suggested. After 2 minutes of assembly, I plugged the cable into my Windows 10 PC and opened the Windows camera tool. (not the ones they recommend - haven't tried it yet but looks like it has more control). It worked right away. Big! The product keeps what it promises. It includes some nylon…

Allows a high-quality Raspberry Pi camera to be used without the Raspberry Pi

This is a really cool idea. I wanted to upgrade the camera from a lower quality IMX179 based USB camera to a home made telecine (8mm film digitizer). This allows me to use the Raspberry HQ camera almost like a simple device without having to buy and learn a Raspberry Pi computer and make extensive modifications to my telecine. However, the image quality is excellent and the frame rate is as advertised. There are a few caveats with my Linux Mint 19.2 system. I'm using guvcview and it works…

Pros
  • Computer components
Cons
  • Almost everything is included

Terrible white balance, poor auto exposure, limited control.

Auto white balance and exposure results in extremely dark and strange blue-green video. Even when I try to change these settings manually, I don't get anything that looks anywhere near as good as my cheap Logitech webcam, and I'm using the $50 lens that Arducam sells here, so I guess it does should not be the limiting factor. You can't manually change the camera's frame rate because each resolution has its own hard-coded frame rate that you must use, and higher resolution settings are extremely
