Swift 380T and 10mp swiftcam best software settings?

#1 Post by Lostboys » Thu Sep 09, 2021 8:19 am

Hi
I have the Swift 380T and 10mp swiftcam could I get some advice on the best software settings as I have seen quite a few images and videos on here taken with this setup.

Just looking for some tips or even better a copy of the settings people are using with the swiftcam, as I find the default settings are not very good on my Swift 380T.

Thank you

I can't really comment specifically on the Swiftcam but I'm not sure what you mean by 'software settings' or what you mean by 'not very good''? Are you using it for stills or video or both? What subjects are you trying to image? Maybe you could post some example images.

Hi
Settings as in colour, gain, bin or skip and such.
Someone else said the default camera settings are not great and need tweaking.

I am using it for video and still images, I get a lot better quality attaching my mobile phone.

Hi again

Examples? Do you have it set up the same as in the Amazon page? https://www.amazon.co.uk/SWIFT-Megapixe ... V7N72?th=1 (ed. scroll down the Amazon page)
It seems to have ok reviews.

That’s exactly how I have it set up, but my pictures are no where near as good as examples, I will try and post some images tonight.
