The unit has frame memory from which a captured image can be output as a still image to an image processor such as a computer or a printer.
Frame memory can be controlled in the following three ways:
•
FREEZE button located on the rear panel
•Internal pulse signals
•External pulse signals
You have to change the menu setting to use the freeze function with these controls.
Note
While the captured image is being output as a still image, ATW, AUTO IRIS and CCD IRIS cannot be used.
To capture the image into memory using the FREEZE button
Set “FREEZE” on PAGE 3 menu to “INT.CTRL”.
The 
FREEZE button and SOURCE button on the rear panel are enabled.
On pressing the 
FREEZE button: The image is captured into memory and the captured image is output.
On pressing the SOURCE button: The freeze function (memory mode) is cleared and the live image is output from the camera.
To capture to memory using an internal pulse signal
To capture to memory using internal pulse signals, make the following menu settings.
1 Set “FREEZE” on PAGE 3 menu to “EXT.CTRL”.
2 Set “MODE” on PAGE 3 menu to the desired memory mode F/F or F/S.
F/F: Whenever an external pulse is input, the image is captured in the memory, replacing the previously captured image with the new one and the captured image is output as a still image. This operation is repeated cyclically whenever the external pulses are input.
F/S: When an external pulse is input, the image is captured to memory replacing the previously captured image, and the captured image is output as still image. When the next external pulse is input, the live image shot with the camera is output. These operations are repeated cyclically whenever external pulses are input.
For timing of the pulse signal in F/F mode and F/S mode, see “Timing of external pulse input to the EXT CTRL connector” on page 34.
