ξ VARIABLE : The shutter speed is VARIABLE value under a line.

a)8 to 1/30 (1/25 : PAL) : Long-time frame store mode

4 to 1/30 (1/25 : PAL) : Long-time field store mode

The camera delivers intermittent video signal output. So, to view continuous images, it is required to use the video memory. A clear image can be attained even if the subject is illuminated with a faint light source. As the store time increases, the degree of after-image becomes higher.

Note : With an increase in store time, the degree of characteristic pattern noise, white scratch, etc. of the CCD image sensor will become higher.

b)1/60.38 (1/50.31: PAL) to 1/100,000 : Lock scan mode

When an image of a subject display screen having a different scan frequency is taken, a bright or dark horizontal bar appears to roll up or down the screen. The shutter speed can be adjusted to where the horizontal bars are minimized in the display.

Note : If the display screen scanning frequency is less than 60Hz (50Hz PAL), the rolling horizontal bars cannot be stopped. Not settable in the Auto CAM mode.

ξ AES

: Auto electronic shutter operates in the Limit range setting.

 

Optimum image level is obtained under strong light conditions.

 

Effectively used for special optical systems such as microscope or

 

fixed iris lens which do not have automatic light adjustment

 

functions. Limit settings can be selected from 1/500 to 1/100000

 

second

Note: AES cannot be used with Lens Type Video. To use AES with a manual iris lens, set the Lens Type to DC and Iris Mode to Manual. If the iris opening is relatively wide in comparison to the DC voltage (manual over-ride lens), set the Lens Type to DC and the Iris Mode to Auto.

Note: In the Auto CAM mode and the Lens Type is set to DC, the shutter is set to AES. If Lens Type is set to Video, default is to off.

ξ EXT TRIGGER : External trigger refer to a function for picking up rapidly moving objects by applying a trigger pulse input.

It is possible to pick up an image with various timing, by the mode that was set in EXT TRIGGER under 1 line.

3) EXT TRIGGER : external trigger mode

For details of MODE1, MODE2, please refer to Page 27.

4) CCD MODE : CCD store mode

ξ FLD : The field integration mode operation is performed (for ordinary purpose of application).

ξ FRM : Frame integration mode; although vertical resolution is improved, image lag is slightly increased. Suggested for still images. At AES Shutter mode, camera sensitivity is reduced by about 6 dB.
