Settings: Key camera settings for optimal video quality in medical settings
- Resolution: Choose the highest your storage and workflow allow (at minimum 720p, ideally 1080p).
- Frame Rate: A minimum of 30 frames per second is necessary for smooth motion; consider 60fps if fast movement analysis is important.
- Lighting: If possible, manually adjust white balance and exposure to match the lighting conditions of the room.
Auto-focus and Zoom: When and how to use these features effectively.
- Auto-focus: Useful for maintaining focus on moving subjects, but be aware of potential distraction if it hunts significantly.
- Zoom: Best for planned close-ups – pre-set or have a dedicated operator make adjustments. Avoid excessive zooming during a procedure, as it can disorient viewers.
