C920 Camera Image Issues

I’ve just setup my C920 camera. The image is coming into Lightburn in portrait mode when I start fresh…I need to recalibrate each time to get it to fit in landscape mode.

2nd issue is the image is upside down. Is there a way to turn the image without having to disassemble my setup?

Thanks! -Michael


Is the image in portrait and landscape after hitting “Update Overlay”? The Camera alignment process makes accommodations for this and should display correctly in the overlay. The live view will not be corrected, however.

When I click Update overlay, nothing seems to happen.

This time I switched cameras and then went back to C920 camera. This updated the live view to landscape, but it’s still upside down and the update overlay doesn’t seem to do anything to the work area.

Were you able to successfully go through the calibration and alignment processes? If not, try those first. The screenshot you showed for alignment didn’t seem to be calibrated.

However, I don’t think that should prevent you from updating the overlay but not certain.

Hi, yes, the calibration and alignment was completed successfully. The screenshot is what it is currently showing after the processes were completed.

Strange… especially since you were able to capture images in the calibration.

Try changing the “Camera Capture System” from Custom to Default in Edit->Settings and try again. You may need to go through calibration and alignment again for it to work properly… but you should be able to test overlay without doing that.

Okay, did the switch and recalibrated. The Update Overlay works, but the image on the work area is very zoomed in.

Oh, and I turned my camera around so the image would appear right-side up.

Excellent… Rerun alignment. That should fix the zoom I think.

I just redid alignment…still looks the same - zoomed in

Hmm… can’t be easy can it… Have you tried restarting LightBurn? Might be stuck with the old alignment.

Ha, nope, nothing is easy. I did, still looks the same. When I re-ran the alignment, I didn’t burn a new test sheet, I just used the original test sheet. I wonder if I need to burn a new one first…will try that.

Just turn the output in the settings… :wink:
