RESTART RESET (R.R)

The information on one screen can be extracted at any time by inputting a restart/reset signal (HD/VD) from the outside. To enter this mode, set DIP switches 6, 7, and 8 on the rear panel of a camera as shown in the table below. The setting is especially effective for the following operation.

Long exposure

A high-sensitivity image is obtained by extending the exposure time of the CCD when satisfactory sensitivity cannot be obtained under other operating conditions or when observing the trail of a moving object.

The exposure time is determined by the VD interval (T) period between external VD pulses as follows.

∙Timing and conditions

Example 1 of Long exposure

EXT HD Continuous signal: 15.734 kHz (XC-ES50/ES30, XC-EI50/XC-EI30)Allowable frequency value ±1%,

15.625 kHz (XC-ES50CE/ES30CE, XC-EI50CE/XC-EI30CE) Allowable frequency value ±1%

EXT VD VD interval(T): 262.5H or more (XC-ES50/ES30, XC-EI50/XC-EI30) and less than 1 second (Recommended),

312.5H or more (XC-ES50CE/ES30CE, XC-EI50CE/XC-EI30CE) and less than 1 second (Recommended)

Four or more VD pulses are required.
