Image quality
You can set one of four kinds of quality from the drop-down list. The low and standard qualities are used for rough drafts of images. When one of them is set, the minimum quantity of iterations for generation of the image with certain level of “noise” is evaluated by the system. To generate the most realistic images you need to choose high or maximum quality. When the quality set to maximum, the number of iterations is not limited. The detailed info on factors affecting the quality of photorealistic image can be found here.

Selection of active camera
