- Supported Resolutions. Choose your preferred camera resolution and click Save and Exit. Lensiora recommends selecting the highest available resolution for the best image quality. Lower resolutions can create smaller files and may be useful for compatibility.
- Auto Take every. Enables automatic TWAIN image capture at the selected interval. The interval can be entered in seconds or adjusted with the spinner. The software defaults to 2.0 seconds when no previous value is saved.
Note
Some camera features are resolution-dependent. On Lensiora HD, the Zoom button is available only at the lowest 640 × 480 resolution.
5. StillVue IQ Options

- Capture mode. Selects the StillVue IQ capture method. Best shot (sharpest frame) is the standard mode. Noise reduced (experimental) is available for testing when appropriate.
- Scoring speed. Controls how much image data is used to score frames. High precision (1×, slowest) uses the most detail. Balanced (2×), Normal speed (4×), and Fastest (8×) trade precision for speed.
- Training mode. Saves both a StillVue IQ image and a direct capture image for comparison. Only the StillVue IQ image is sent to the imaging software.
