External Triggering - Olympus DP71 Instructions Manual

EXTERNAL TRIGGERING

}The DP71 can record still images or control a commercially available shutter based on an external trigger signal.
Trigger Input
· The trigger input from external equipment can be used to start still image recording using the DP-BSW.
· The trigger input is detected at the edge, and the positive and negative logics can be switched with the DP Controller.
· The trigger input is not compatible with random triggering. Due to a time lag of 150 to 600 ms after the trigger input, the
exposure start time cannot be synchronized completely
For details on the time lag from the trigger input to the start of exposure, see table below.
· The trigger input is a TTL compatible signal.
