EVF Settings

 

EvfIntervalInMs - Specifies the refresh interval of the live view display in milliseconds (default value 80). A smaller value will give a faster refresh rate. The maximum live view refresh rate will depend on the camera model and the speed of the computer. Please note that changing this setting may affect the timing of animated GIFs captured in video booth mode.

PhotoboothFasrResize - Uses a faster resizing algorithm when resizing images to create the print layout. The faster resizing algorithm may reduce the time it takes to prepare the photos for printing when running on slower computers but also reduce the quality slightly.

PhotoboothSuppressXML - Select this option to disable the saving of the XML summary file that is normally written after each photo booth shooting sequence.

PhotoboothSaveLayoutEvenIfRejected - Save the JPEG copy of the printed output even if the user rejects the photos in the print confirmation screen.

PhotoboothShutterLag - Compensate for the camera's shutter lag (the delay from when the command to take a photo is sent to when the camera actually captures the photo). The delay is in milliseconds e.g. setting it to 500 will tell the software to send the command to take the photo half a second before the countdown timer reaches zero (see also PhotoboothCountdownDelayInMS)

PhotoboothPrintCounter - Sets the start value for the print counter that is decremented each time photos are printed (more details).

AllowEvfBrightnessAdjustment - Allow cursor up/down keys to adjust live view brightness using the shutter speed when using manual exposure mode and bank 1 or bank 2 camera settings

PhotoboothTapCountdown3Sec - Set the stills photo booth countdown timer to 3 secs if user taps the screen during the countdown. The countdown text is hidden if countdown is set to more than 15 secs e.g. you can set the delay before taking remaining photos to 30 secs to allow users time to change props and get ready for the next photo and then ask them to tap the screen for a 3 sec countdown or wait for the full 30 seconds to elapse (the countdown text will only be displayed for the final 15 secs of the countdown).

PhotoboothPhotoPreviewX - Left offset (in pixels) of preview photos displayed in the preview.jpg screen

PhotoboothPhotoPreviewY - Top offset (in pixels) of preview photos displayed in the preview.jpg screen
