1.Which seller did you purchase the product(s) from?
ScorpioVision
2.The Model number of the product(s) you have purchased?
Arducam Mini 2MP Plus – OV2640 SPI Camera Module
3.Which Platform are you using the product(s) on?
Arduino MKR Zero
4.Which instruction are you following?
Using your ArduCAM_Mini_2MP_Plus_Multi_Capture2SD example
5.Has your product ever worked properly?
Yes
6.What problems are you experiencing?
I run the example code (ArduCAM_Mini_2MP_Plus_Multi_Capture2SD) which is in autoFocus mode and noticed that any sort of movement in a captured image is blurry. I am capturing 1600x1200 images. This implies that exposure is too long and needs to be reduced to capture less movement. Please can you advise how I go about reducing the exposure time manually?
7.What attempts at troubleshooting have you already made?
Searched the web, only found articles on increasing the exposure
8.How would you like us to help you?
Please advise how I would go about reducing expsoure time on the module.
Hi,
The reference code for setting the exposure time is given below. Some parameters need to be modified for different resolutions. The register address is common.
#define EXPOSURE_MS 10 //manual exposure time:0-99.928ms
uint32_t tex = EXPOSURE_MS * 1000000;
uint16_t AEC = tex / (1922*41.66);
char exposure1 = AEC & 0x3;
char exposure2 = (AEC >> 2)& 0xff;
char exposure3 = (AEC >> 10)& 0x3f;
void set_exposure(ArduCAM myCAM)
{
uint8_t temp;
myCAM.wrSensorReg8_8(0xff, 0x01);
myCAM.rdSensorReg8_8(0x13, &temp);
temp &= ~(1 << 0); //Close automatic exposure
temp &= ~(1 << 2); //Close AGC
myCAM.wrSensorReg8_8(0x13, temp);
myCAM.rdSensorReg8_8(0x04, &temp);
temp = temp & 0XFC;
myCAM.wrSensorReg8_8(0x04, temp | exposure1);
myCAM.rdSensorReg8_8(0x10, &temp);
temp = temp & 0;
myCAM.wrSensorReg8_8(0x10, temp | exposure2);
myCAM.rdSensorReg8_8(0x45, &temp);
temp = temp & 0XE0;
myCAM.wrSensorReg8_8(0x45, temp | exposure3);
}
