Quick Answer

To adjust brightness and exposure on the GemIQ desktop app, you can add or remove light accessories on your GemLightbox Max, and fine-tune exposure using the GemCam Light Controls and Scene Preset panel in the app. Note: the desktop app can only capture images and videos when a GemCam Pro is connected.


Hardware Adjustments

The amount of light inside your GemLightbox directly affects your exposure. Adding or removing accessories is the quickest way to make a significant change before touching any software settings.
