Benefits of performing dark calibration
Basically an electrical residue or “charge” accumulates on the CMOS sensor and may interfere with accurate measurements. Basically, this charge builds up when the temperatures you are operating in changes significantly. The other situation is when you move from lighter to darker environments or vice versa. Also, anytime you are experienc¬ing some anomolies in measurements is a good time to perform a Dark Calibration.
