K09821;5/37 (3-4) Mode switch (MODE) The Operation mode and Gain can be set by manipulating Mode switch and UP/DOWN switch. (3-5) Shutter switch (EXP.) The shutter speed (shutter exposure time) can be set by manipulating Shutter switch. (3-6) UP/DOWN switch (U-D) The Operation mode and Gain can be set by manipulating Mode switch and UP/DOWN switch.
(asynchronous trigger signal) to the trigger input terminal of the power supply unit (PU100). (Note) Though the asynchronous trigger signal can be given by serial communication command via GigE interface, it is not suitable for real-time image capturing as it gets delayed following packet forwarding.

K09821;9/37 (4-5) Monitoring function for internal temperature of camera This camera is equipped with an internal temperature sensor to monitor the temperature inside the body. This function makes it possible to use the camera in a safer way even in a harsh environment in terms of temperature, for example use in the open air.

K09821;10/37 Operation confirmation buzzer (4-6) This equipment is designed to sound the confirmation buzzer of “pip” when a stroke is applied to the UP/DOWN switch on the rear panel, or at the time of other manipulation including the start-up after power application. The factory default setting is ON.

K09821;12/37 (5-2) Setting of shutter speed The shutter speed is determined mainly by the shutter switch position from “0” to “9”. When a shutter speed is specified using a communication command, the communication command is prioritized. The shutter speed to be displayed is the one that is corresponding to the currently selected shutter switch position. When “7”...

K09821;13/37 To eliminate this phenomenon, reduce the amount of light by stopping down the lens and newly set a higher gain value. Then, the output signal from the CCD element at the saturating area will be appropriately saturated into a white level for the output.

K09821;17/37 (6-4) Description of menu display by OSD (On Screen Display) This camera is equipped with the OSD function of imposing a text on the output digital image signal. Using this function, the current setting status of the camera can be displayed over the image of the capture board in OSD display area menu form.
