Title: Full image size when using 720p
Post by: Crp on May 10, 2014, 11:32:50 AM
Hi,
I want to use the camera on 720p (1280x720) but when i set the the video profile like this:

Frame size   1280x720
View window area 1280x720

i dont get the full sensor image, only the zoomed-in image.
When i want the full sensor image, i have to set it on:

Frame size   1920x1080
View window area 1920x1080

but i want to use it on 1280x720, how do i fix this problem ?

What f/w are you using? I'm on 1.10

I have no issues. Was going to post a screenshot but this website doesn't allow attachments.

As fas as I can tell, you've stumbled on the same firmware bug I encountered a while ago.

Profile 1 must always be set to 1080p.  Any setting other than 1080p for Profile 1 will "break" the other profiles and cause them to appear "zoomed in" relative to what the camera actually sees.

You can set Profile 2 to 720p and use that for your 720p feed, but leave Profile 1 as 1080p.

By the way, once this happens, the camera may stick in this condition even if you change Profile 1 back to 1080p.   If you can't get it to look correct again, try changing the aspect ratio to 4:3, saving, then switching it back to 16:9.

Thanks belvedere.  Never tried that and don't intend too.
P1 in 1080 and p2 in 720.

I added this to the firmware wishlist thread.

Yes, it worked. You are right about the profile trick. I knew it was something like that but is a while ago i configured the camera. Thanks for the explanation
