There are also alternative ways to zoom in and out and to change brightness, contrast saturation and hue:
Zooming
In oder to zoom in position the mouse pointer in the top left corner of the area that you wish to magnify. Draw a red rectangle by keeping the mouse button pressed and dragging the mouse to the lower right corner. Release the mouse button.
Zooming out is performed by pressing Zoom out
in the ribbon.
As third way, it is possible to zoom in/out by scrolling the mouse wheel. Position the mouse pointer over the image and scroll the mouse wheel. When zoomed in, you can move the section by moving the mouse keeping the <ALT> and left mouse button pressed.
To preserve the original aspect ratio of the video during display, the image is centered between black bars. When zooming in, the black areas are reduced accordingly or are no longer visible, while still maintaining the aspect ratio.
Change properties in the camera window
Contrast, brightness, saturation and hue can also be changed using the sliders in the camera window. To do so, move the mouse pointer in the upper right corner of the camera window where sliders appear.
Brightness, contrast, saturation and hue will be reset to the default value by clicking the respective icon above the sliders.
If the graphics adapter of your computer does not support changing these settings you’ll get an error message in a tooltip with the mouse hovering over the control.
