Features
Broad exposure control
Thanks to the AGC (Automatic Gain Control) and CCD iris
control functions, the camera can handle a broad range of
subject lighting conditions. When shooting in poor lighting
conditions, the AGC feature automatically increases the
sensitivity up to eight times. When the amount of light is
excessive, the CCD iris control function automatically
increases the shutter speed to cut exposure. This function
can cut the exposure to the equivalent of up to 4 aperture
stops. When using this camera in a fixed location, AGC,
CCD iris control and auto-iris control allow for shooting in a
broad range of lighting conditions. Combined use of AGC
and CCD iris control is also very helpful when using the
camera in a microscope system.
Wide range of electronic shutter modes
The wide range of speeds for the electronic shutter helps
you overcome difficult shooting conditions, minimizes
blurring in fast-moving subjects, and produces acceptably
bright still images of subjects shot in poor light. The
exposure time can be automatically controlled according to
the brightness of the subjects. (For details, contact your
authorized Sony dealer.)
Flickerless mode: When set to flickerless mode, the
electronic shutter allows you to take flickerless images
even under fluorescent light.

Clear scan mode: When you use the electronic shutter in
the clear scan mode, you can shoot computer screen
displays without horizontal stripes or distortion.
Externally-triggered shutter: The external trigger for the
shutter enables a camera in a fixed location to capture
flickerless images of fast-moving objects.
Freeze function
The moving image is captured in the frame memory built
into this unit as a still image. The still image captured in the
memory can be output continuously.
RS-232C interface
The unit can be controlled from an computer via an
RS-232C interface.
Compact and lightweight
The unit is very compact (79 72 145 mm) and very light
(about 790 g), allowing for easy installation in places where
space is a problem.
The following are some examples of applications:
• As a camera for microscope
• As a roof-top weather monitoring camera
• As a laboratory monitor camera
• As a camera used in a video conference systems
