Cameras

Problem
Are the shutter trigger pulses syn-
chronized when more than one
camera is connected?
Can more than one internally syn-
chronized Cameras be connected?
Can the F150-LT10A Light be con-
nected to the F160-S1 Camera?

Memory Cards

Problem
Can either of the Memory Card
slots be used?
The cables are not correctly wired.
The F250's communications specifications do not match those of the
external device.
The communications mode was not selected under System settings/
Communication/Serial.
Select Normal, Host link, or Menu in the Communications (Serial)
menu. (Normal is no-protocol.)
The status of communications can be checked with the I/O monitor.
The reception buffer on the external device (e.g., computer) is full. Check
that settings allow the data to be properly received.
The communications mode was not set to Menu in the System settings/
Communication/Serial settings.
• Are the same communications conditions set for both the external
device and the F250?
• Is flow control turned OFF under System settings/communication/
Normal? Refer to the F250 Operation Manual.
The shutter trigger pulses are not synchronized for the F160-S1 and
F150-S1. The timing is offset so that light from other Cameras does not
enter. The offset depends on the model of Camera that is used.
Model F160-S1
m
tD Approx. 500 s Approx. 1 ms
If a strobe is used, the strobe trigger
signals are also offset in the same way as
the shutter trigger pulses.
The shutter trigger pulses are synchronized for other Cameras, i.e., there
is no offset.
No. Only one F200-S Camera (internal sync) can be connected, and it
must be connected to Camera connector 0.
Yes, it can be connected and the following Lenses are available.
• Lens with 20-mm field of vision: F150-LE20
• Lens with 50-mm field of vision: F150-LE50
Only the following two functions have restrictions in the slot that can be
used.
• Starting the Setup Menu: Slot 0 only
• Switching scene groups: Slot 1 only
Either slot can be used for all other functions (outputting results to a Mem-
ory Card, saving scene data, etc.).
