Look at the picture below, the image should be a uniform dark gray (and it shows as such under labview). But somehow it looks as if matlab is cutting off the darkest part on the left of the histogram and its folded over to the very right, producing this very bright pixels around the corners which are just artefacts... At first I thought its just a display problem converting from 16 to 8bit but it looks like the actual raw data (the histogram axis shows the 16bit data from getsnapshot) recorded in matlab is just rubbish....
The camera is a firewire 16bit using dcam drivers. Matlab is 2012a 32bit.
