# How to change camera settings on SURVEY61

## This article shows how to change settings on SURVEY61

**SURVEY61** allows customers to adjust the following camera settings :

- Aperture
- Exposure time (shutter speed)
- Exposure compensation
- White balance
- Image quality

Check out [this article](https://knowledge.wingtra.com/en/survey-61-set-up-settings?hsLang=en) to learn how to access the predefined or custom camera settings through the Wingtra app.

### **How to change the camera settings**

When selecting predefined or custom camera settings, the following two settings have to be adjusted on the camera itself:

1. **Aperture:** Set the aperture dial to the value shown in the Wingtra app by turning the ring on the camera lens (... 4, 4.5, 5.0, 5.6 ...).
2. **Exposure bias:** Set the exposure compensation dial  to the value shown in the Wingtra app (...-0.3, +-0, +0.3, ...)

The other settings (exposure time, white balance and image quality) are defined through the app.

**Note:**

- If the aperture and exposure values set on the camera do not match those displayed in the Wingtra app, a warning message will appear in the pre-flight checklist. The warning is not blocking and flying will still be possible.
- The last used camera settings for each payload are saved in the drone and are persistent across drone reboots
