DFW-X700

FUNCTIONS

The DFW-SX900/X700 differs from the conventional analog camera in that no video signals will be output by just supplying power. It will start operating when designated commands are written in the CSR (Control & Status Register) specified in the 1394-based Digital Camera Specification Ver.1.30. For details on the steps to video signal output and details of CSR, refer to “SETTINGS OF CAMERA CONTROL AND STATUS REGISTER” on page 20 and “COMMAND SENDING PROCEDURE UNTIL IMAGES ARE DISPLAYED” on page 33.

This chapter describes the functions of the camera which can be set using the CSR.
