①Click the resolution drop-down box to select the working resolution.
②Display and view the live preview frame rate.
③Observe the preview screen, and select the automatic or manual
exposure setting according to the actual application requirements to obtain
the desired image intensity.
④Depending on the application requirements, adjust the gain value to
obtain the required image signal enhancement effect.
③When the preview shows a hazy effect, adjust [Permeability] to restore
the clear picture.
④When the preview image has dead pixels and color points, adjust [DPC]
the dead pixel correction function to effectively remove the dead pixels to
obtain a cleaner image.
⑤When the light source is not uniform, or the preview image has dirty
spots, use the [Flat Field Calibration Wizard] option to correct the image
default background and obtain greater uniformity.
⑥Check [Image enhance save] to perform detail enhancement and noise
reduction processing to obtain the desired image effects. This function is
only effective when image capture is saved, and real-time effect preview is
not supported.
Note: CMEX -f series cameras do not support color temperature, hue, light,
permeability and image enhancement.

1.Avoid removing the lens cap in a dusty environment.
2.When removing the lens cap or mounting a lens, hold the camera face
down to prevent dust from falling on the sensor surface.
3. When the camera is not being used, the lens cap should be replaced.
4.Use a professional dust removal tool to remove any dust on the camera
optical filter. ①If dust gets on the filter, it should be removed using low
pressure air. ②For stubborn oily dust, the surface can be gently wiped using
a lint-free cotton swab dipped in ethanol.
5.If it still cannot be cleaned, contact the after-sales personnel for
assistance. The use of non-professional equipment for cleaning is prone to
lead to scratches on the filter surface.
6.Use only the original power adapter. Ensure the adapter and associated
cables are free from items that may cause damage. If the power adapter is
damaged, please contact the supplier for an immediate replacement.
