I encountered a problem when I used the D435 camera in the room. I found that the the camera was disturbed by the lamp on the ceiling, in lamp area the camera's depth data was wrong, When I used a flashlight illuminate the camera, the depth data could also be wrong, How to solve this problem?

If lighting conditions are too bright or too dark, a component called the IR Emitter that assists the IR Sensor with exposure can become saturated. On the 400 Series cameras, you can lower the 'Laser Power' setting to reduce the interference to the depth data caused by the IR Emitter in these conditions.

Can you tell me where I can find 'Laser Power' setting and how to lower the Laser Power?

If you are using the RealSense Viewer software, you can find the Laser Power slider by expanding open the 'Controls section of the options.

Another thing you can try is un-selecting the Auto Exposure option in the RealSense Viewer (which is enabled by default) and manually adjusting the Gain and Exposure setting levels with the sliders yourself.
