Photographing Images

NOTE: Adjusting the focus of a dark subject can also be performed by pressing the (focus button). When the button is right-clicked, the camera gain is

increased to adjust the exposure automatically so that the exposure time will not be too long. Then, the live image is displayed while keeping the

exposure status. When right-clicking on the (focus button), to increase the response at focusing, "NR OFF" status is set.

Left-click on the (focus button) to access manual mode without adjusting the exposure.

(3) Choosing photometry mode

There are two photometry modes:

Average photometry

Peak-hold photometry

Normally, average photometry should be selected. The icon indicates the currently selected photometry mode.

Sample settings that suit different uses are described below. Try these settings before determining your own settings.

•There are few luminance changes over the entire screen that has a bright field → Average photometry

•Whites on the background need to be whiter. → Peak-hold photometry, with exposure correction added

•The background is mostly black, and the subject is sporadically bright. → Peak-hold photometry

Selecting a photometry area

Use one of the photometry area icons to specify a range of the screen in which you want the exposure to be adjusted.

Normally, a wide photometry range is recommended.

To avoid influences from the periphery of the screen, choose a narrow photometry range.

NOTE: Displaying phoytometry area

The photometry range is displayed with a red frame for a limited time when the ran, right-click again.

(4) Choosing tone

When you set the tone, the contrast will change. Sample settings are shown below. Confirm tones on the monitor when you set a tone, and select the most suitable one.

•To observe gradation in highlight reflections → TONE1

Recommended example: IC chips, part-mounting circuit board solder, component leads, gears, etc.

•To weaken or strength the standard contrast → TONE2 (weak) or TONE4 (strong) Recommended example: General photography

•To read the difference in luminous energy from the photographed image data → TONE5
