Hi:
My camera image is dark all of a sudden: I tried gently cleaning the lens in case there was an obstruction but made no difference. It’s not the lamp as that seems to be working fine. Is this a setting I somehow set incorrectly or has the camera gone bad?
Original view from the camera
Current view from the camera:
Any suggestions appreciated. Thank you!
The camera is adapting it exposure to light when starting, if lighting change after that measure than exposure won’t be adjusted.
I have an extra LED lightening, if It is switched on when printer start and if I switch it off later than I get same result than you.
So if you printer was on heavy lightening at start and this lightening reduce it is normal that the camera get darker. The camera exposure is not often updated.
A restart usually correct the problem.
Thanks! That fixed the problem. I didn’t realize the camera had an exposure auto-adjust.
What a great hint about that one time exposure being “constant”…
I had very dark live image.
While in middle of print I’ve stopped the camera view in bambuslicer, changed setting from 1080p to 720p and then back to 1080p, started view again… and it did change exposure allowing me to see print better (far from “good” but way better, less dark).
That actually should be bugreported to bambu, so they would update firmware to adjust exposure once per few minutes for example.
I had the same problem during one print. resolved after print was done.
You can work round it, but this really is a bug IMO, the exposure should readjust periodically…
How do you post a new topic?
Hallo, ich habe einen p1s und bin sehr zufrieden damit. Im Handy funktioniert die Kamera sehr gut. Auf dem PC leider nicht. Woran kann das liegen? BR
Mine did not resolve with a restart or three, but switching resolution worked perfect.
I have the same problem, new machine, DARK compared to older machine bought 3 months ago…
This is why open source is so important…
Now we wait for an answer, hopefully a fix or at least an adjustment in a pull down menu
to allow the user to configure to their liking… CHOICES PLEASE…
Do you have the chamber light on or off?
I have been turning off the chamber light and noticing this also. If I turn it back on the camera doesn’t seem to have the issue.
Just curious.
Yes I’ve toggled the chamber light, the resolution, power on power off…
none of the combinations give a good intensity on the viewing…
I did notice when toggling on/off chamber lamp, the picture does go to a good
brightness level but then readjusts back down to a dark level…
We need a user adjustment…
Yeah this is a real problem that needs to be resolved. I’ve added some additional lighting to try and improve visibility but the camera keeps stopping down. Unless I turn the light off before turning the camera on, and then turning the light on, the cameras view is terrible.
I agree that the camera should adapt live and not just once. I have the same problem
