The + sensor is merely informed of these values in case it performs + processing that requires them, but it does not apply them itself to + the output pixels. + + Currently it is defined only for Bayer sensors, and is an array + control taking 4 gain values, being the gains for each of the + Bayer channels. The gains are always in the order B, Gb, Gr and R, + irrespective of the exact Bayer order of the sensor itself. + + The use of an array allows this control to be extended to sensors + with, for example, non-Bayer CFAs (colour filter arrays). + + The units for the gain values are linear, with the default value + representing a gain of exactly 1.0. For example, if this default value + is reported as being (say) 128, then a value of 192 would represent + a gain of exactly 1.5. |
