Camera Control

The Control Panes on the left side of the SLOW software provide access to essential camera controls and live image adjustments. Each pane groups related settings, making it easy to configure various aspects of the camera system.

A small arrow at the top right of each pane allows it to be expanded or collapsed. Collapsing a pane does not disable its functionality, it simply hides its contents, allowing focus on the controls most relevant to the current workflow. The state of the pane (expanded or collapsed) is unique to each camera object and will be remembered when switching between objects.

The control panes in view can be adjusted by clicking and dragging them up or down with the mouse or by hovering over them and using the scroll wheel.
