Automatic Exposure Control

A CCD IRISTM function combined with AGC (Automatic Gain Control) provides automatic control over incoming light. If the object in front of the lens is too bright, the camera switches automatically to a higher shutter speed. If the object is too dark, it automatically increases the gain. And the AE (Automatic Exposure) level can be finely adjusted from _60 to +60. The result is images that are always perfectly exposed.

Automatic Backlight Adjustments

The DXC-LS1/1 can distinguish backlit from frontlit scenes and compensate accordingly, adjusting exposure automatically to objects in the scene you want to shoot.

Light Metering Areas

The DXC-LS1/1 can measure light and make expo- sure adjustments in 5 different areas (whole image, small area at center, large area at center, small slit and large slit). Objects in these areas are always appropri- ately lit, regardless of the brightness of surrounding objects.

Small area at center (C1)

Large area at center (C2)

Small slit (S1)

Large slit (S2)

Electronic Zoom

The electronic zoom provides enlargements from 1.00to 3.00. This is especially effective because large zoom lenses cannot be used with cameras as small as the DXC-LS1/1.

Long Term Exposure

3.00

When shooting very dark objects, you can set the shutter speed manually to 1/60 of a second or more and specify from 2 to 512 fields. Longer shutter speeds allow more light to accumulate on the CCD sensors, for a remarkable sensitivity.

Note: To use this function, an external memory unit/board is required.

Variable Gamma

By manually varying the gamma parameters, you can increase the contrast in lighter or darker parts of the image, for a clear view of specific details.
