1 Preparations Before Photographing

 

 

Date:, Time:

Enter a date and time.

NOTE: If the DS-L1 remains turned off for extended periods, its internal timer may slow down or stop. When the DS-L1 starts up, it displays the date and time set in its timer (flashes for about 8 seconds). If you have shut off the DS-L1 for one week or longer, check the date and time shown on the DS-L1 when you turn it back on.

Power Save Timer

If you leave the DS-L1 idle for a certain time, it will automatically switch to power-save mode. You can set how long the DS-L1 will wait before switching to power-save mode. Setting a value of “00” will disable the power-save function.

Pointer speed Low/Mid/High

Select the speed at which the mouse pointer moves across the screen when you move the mouse.

E.Zoom Step

Select the magnification rate of the electronic zoom, at which rate the image is zoomed in or out. (Two or more choices can be selected.)

Capture Function

Save to Card / Save to Server / Print

Select one of these functions to save to a CF card, to save to the FTP server, or to output to a printer you want assigned to the CAPTURE button on the DS-L1 and the DS Remote Controller DS-RC or to the CAPT. button on the menu. The CAPTURE button can be assigned two or more functions at the same time.

External Out

This is an external interface output.

If you select ON, a strobe synchronizing signal is output from the EXTERNAL OUT connector when capturing an image.

For normal use, we recommend selecting OFF. If you select ON, a time lag will occur in external output with respect to the displayed image on the monitor.

The number at the bottom-right indicates the firmware version.

The firmware version in the example shown is Ver = 220.0202.1717.040825. This is the firmware Ver. 2.20.
