Others

E-FLIP

This function turns the video output from the camera upside down.

Mirror Image

This function reverses the video output from the camera horizontally.

Freeze

This function captures an image in the field memory of the camera so that this image can be output continuously.

Because communication inside the camera is based on V cycle, the captured image is always the one 3V to 4Vs after the sending of a Command. Thus, you can not specify a time period after sending a Command.

Basic Functions

Memory (Position Preset)

Using the position preset function, 6 sets of camera shooting conditions can be stored and recalled.

This function allows you to achieve the desired status instantly even without adjusting the following items each time:

•Focus Auto/Manual

•Focus Position

•AE Mode

•Shutter control parameters

•Bright Control

•Iris control parameters

•Gain control parameters

•Exposure Compensation On/Off

•Exposure Level

•Backlight Compensation On/Off

•Slow Shutter Auto/Manual

•White Balance Mode

•R/B Gain

•Aperture

Custom Preset

As with the position preset function, the camera shooting conditions can be stored and recalled. The settings are recalled when the power is turned on.

For setting items, see the “Initial Settings, Custom Preset and Backup” section on page 28.

User Memory Area

A user area of 16 bytes allows you to write data, such as an ID for each customer, data for each system, and so on, freely.

Note

Rewriting of memory is not unlimited. Be careful to avoid using the memory area for such as unnecessary tasks as rewriting the contents of the memory for every operation.
