This is attributable to the basics of the image sensor and
is not a malfunction.
Pseudo-binning mode sensitivity
Binning mode included in XCD-V60/SX90/U100 can
increase sensitivity because it adds a vertical direction
signal. In contrast, the pseudo-binning mode included in
this camera outputs dark pixels or the average value of
the vertical direction 2 pixels, so sensitivity never
increases. The operating principle differs to standard
binning modes, so be sure to take note of this before use.
Shutter Speed and Image Quality Assurance
With this camera, the shutter speed can be set at 1/
50,000 to 1 s, but image quality problems can arise with
shutter speeds close to the setting threshold, such as
noise and tiny white flecks. Therefore, the shutter speed
ranges shown below are recommended to prevent image
quality interference.
Guaranteed operating range: 1/50,000 to 1 s
Guaranteed image quality range: 1/30,000 to 1/10 s
As to the shutter speed range for guaranteed image
quality, because noise and tiny white flecks may arise
when used in a high-temperature environment or with an
increased gain, set the blemish correction to ON after
you have retrieved the blemish correction data set
according to your user conditions.
However, when there is a large number of blemishes to
be corrected, be sure to note that this will cause the
resolution to reduce.
Performance Assured Visual Output
When the image correction function of the camera is set
to ON, a portion of the level range of the dynamic range
will be used for correction processing. As a result, the
upper limit of the visual output level may not reach the
white clip level.
The performance assured range for visual output level is
16 to 243 steps.
Power Consumption
Be sure to take note of power consumption before use.
The power consumption of this camera will increase at
high ambient temperatures if you use a power supply
that is close to the upper limit (+30 V) or lower limit
(+8 V) of the camera's operating voltage range, or use
the S1600 (1600Mbps) transmission speed. In such
cases, lower the ambient temperature by applying
cooling measures, or use a power supply that is
approximately +12V.
