High-quality images
• The high density 1/3 type, three-chip
TM1)
Exwave HAD CCD
some 430,000 effective picture elements
(pixels), offers superior picture quality:
800 TV lines of high horizontal resolution,
high sensitivity of F8 at 2,000 lx, an
excellent signal-to-noise ratio of 61 dB
and a low smear level.
• The adoption of the LSI digital signal
processing technology reproduces a finer,
more detailed picture.
• DynaLatitude processing enables you to
adjust contrast finely according to the
luminance signal level of each picture
element.
• The DCC+ (Dynamic Contrast Control
plus) function minimizes the phenomena
whereby the whole screen turns white or a
part of the image becomes colorless when
shooting a very bright object.
• The Partial Enhance function enables you
to adjust the sharpness and tint of only a
specified color.

Wide Range of Exposure Control
The AGC (Auto Gain Control) function and
TM3)
CCD IRIS function automatically
adjust a wide range of incoming light levels.
When the lighting condition is poor, the
AGC function automatically increases the
gain up to 16 times. When incoming light is
excessive, the CCD IRIS function
automatically adjusts shutter speed to cut
exposure to the equivalent of up to 10
aperture stops. When using the video camera
in a fixed location or for a microscope
system, the AGC, CCD IRIS and auto-iris
controls automatically adjust a wide range of
incoming light levels. The desired AE
window can be set by using the AE AREA
MANUAL function.

Wide range of electronic shutter
modes
The wide range of speeds for the electronic
shutter minimizes blurring in fast-moving
objects and produces acceptably bright still
images of objects shot in poor light.
• Flickerless mode: This mode allows you to
obtain flickerless images shot even under
fluorescent light.
• Clear scan mode: This mode reduces
horizontal bands appearing in computer
displays when shooting the display with
the conventional video camera.
Versatile use with external
equipment
• The video camera is equipped with three
types of outputs: composite, Y/C and RGB
outputs. The camera offers a high-quality
picture on a connected monitor or VCR.
