# Configuring your camera

## Camera

Selecting a known camera from the options dropdown allows you to generate a grid pattern based on the camera's specifications. All RGB cameras supported by the DeltaQuad are listed as known cameras.

* Landscape/Portrait - Specifies the orientation that the camera is placed on the vehicle.
* Image Overlap - This allows you to specify the amount of overlap you want between each image.
* Altitude - Selecting this value allows you to specify the altitude for the survey. The ground resolution will be calculated and shown for the specified altitude.
* Ground resolution - Selecting this value allows you to specify the ground resolution you want for each image. The altitude required to achieve this resolution is calculated and shown.

## Custom Camera

The custom camera option is similar to the known camera option. The difference is that you must specify the details for the camera specifications yourself.

* Sensor width/height - The size of the image sensor of the camera.
* Image width/height - The resolution of the image captured by the camera.
* Focal Length - The focal length of the camera lens.

The following camera settings should be used corresponding to your camera model:
