Shooting

Using the Externally Triggered Shutter

A charge starts building up the instant an external trigger pulse is received, and then an image is output.

Triggering the electronic shutter externally lets you shoot an object moving at high speed from a fixed position with minimum blurring.

To use the external trigger shutter, make the following menu settings.

For details of how to use the menus, see “Operation through Menus” on page 13.

4 Set “EXT.CTRL(BNC)” on PAGE 3 menu to “TRIG.IN”.

5 Set “TRIGGER CYCLE” on PAGE 4 menu to “OFF”.

6 Set “TRIGGER PULSE” on PAGE 4 menu to match the polarity of the input tirgger pulses.

Note

1 Set “EXT.TRIGGER” of “SHUTTER” on PAGE 1 menu to “ON”.

Either STEP or VARIABLE appears in the SHUTTER column on the menu.

2 Select either “STEP” or “VARIABLE”. “SPEED“ appears.

3 Move the cursor to “SPEED” by using the FUNCTION DOWN button, then set the shutter speed by using the DATA UP or DOWN button.

When “EXT.TRIGGER” is set to “ON”, ATW and AUTO IRIS cannot be used.
