Frame Rate Control
The speed of the camera is measured in fps (frames per second). The value means the
number of frames (images) given by the camera per second. In the SMX-M8X Camera
Software the option of controlling the current number of frames per second is called
Frame Rate Control.
You can see the frame rate value in the right corner of the status bar in the main window
of the SMX-M8X Camera Application.
To open the Frame Rate Control window, click the Frame Rate… button in the Device
Settings window. The Frame Rate Control window will open (
see Figure 7-3 Frame Rate
Control window).

To restore the maximal or default value of frame rate, do the following:
