I have a Bambu Lab X1-Carbon and I have watched the chamber camera way more then I would like to admit. While watching it and looking at videos I have noticed all my videos are much darker then how my feed looks just normally.
Once a print starts you can see the camera dim. I came across a post that said if you switch from 1080 to 720 let it load then switch back to 1080 it gets ride of the auto dim. This does work and it also makes the saved video brighten as well so what I’m seeing is what it is truly recording.
Sorry for my ramble so My Question is this. Is there a way to make the camera stop auto dimming on prints? Or just make it stop auto dimming all together?
Thank you in advance for any one who can help shine some light on this.
We don’t have any control over the automatic exposure. I would expect it to adjust more smoothly, but with small or gradual changes in ambient light, it does seem to get stuck from time to time. Turning the chamber light off and back on can be a big enough change to force an adjustment and might be easier to do than changing the resolution.
Another option is to add enough lighting that ambient light levels do not affect the overall light level in the chamber.
I don’t utilize the chamber light anymore I have a much brighter rope light in the chamber like I’m sure others do as well. I have not tried kicking the lights off then back to force adjustment but I will try that.
I was just hoping maybe someone who is a bit to much smarter then me when it comes to all this stuff would maybe have had it with this issue and possibly found a fix.
Thanks for the input and I will be trying the force autofocus with the chamber light thank you for the suggestion!
