Shutter Speed and the Settings Command

(See “Shutter speed (Variable)” (page 15).)

The shutter speed (in units of microseconds) to be set and the relevant command (in hexadecimal) are read out from the table below. Add the first digit to [E348], and add the last two digits to [E400], then send this value to the camera.

Appendix

Note

The Shutter speed shown in the table is a logical value for the camera’s internal shutter control circuits, and errors occurring during operation are not included.

Example

When the Shutter speed is set to 1,311 microseconds for the NTSC model

From the table, the relevant command [123] is identified. The actual command sent to the camera is calculated as E348 + 1 = E349 / E400 +23 = E423, yielding [E349], [E423].
