RE: Wisdom Sought
The PC167 is a CMOS camera so I bet you are talking about the PC169.
I've never heard of a setting in these cameras that limits their dynamic range. Every camera I have purchased from Supercircuits has worked perfectly in everything from room light to bright outdoor light.
Rather than fighting with them about the documentation, simply call them up and say "I'm not satisfied with this camera". They will take it back in a heartbeat. But I'm telling you, unless that particular unit is defective, the problem is NOT the fact that you selected a CCD camera.
grempel1, sorry for hijacking your thread.
