Re: Ring light not bright enough in camera feed

To parrot the advice given here. I'd first calibrate the exposure using the following procedure. Set the exposure to auto, point the camera at a bright light -- flashlight or overhead light. Wait a few seconds for the camera to change its exposure. Set the exposure to Hold.

Next, you should change the white balance from auto to one of the ones built in. Play with the indoor and outdoor ones to see which results in the most saturated red color.

I typically do this in vision assistant. Feel free to post photos and it may be easier to diagnose.
