6.3 Adjust Camera Mounting

Set up the light box and color checker. Point the camera to the color checker while streaming. Adjust the camera position to make sure the color checker is fit exactly into the field of view (FOV) of the camera.

For a certain resolution, the sensor driver can crop the image before sending the image to the ISP. For example, at resolution 1920 × 1080, the IMX219 driver crops the image and the image looks zoomed in on the display. For this case, a color checker of a smaller size can work better.
