Selection Function
Use for fine adjustment of the video output level.
MANU
You can set the SPEED value in units of 1FRM
(frame), ranging from 2 to 256FRM, in long exposure
mode (low-speed mode), and in units of 1H
(horizontal scanning time), ranging from 1 to 560H in
clear scan mode (high-speed mode).
Long exposure mode
You can set the SPEED value in units of 1 frame.
For example, if you set to 50 frames (about 1.7
seconds), the video signal produced during this set
time is output in the form of one complete frame at
intervals of about 1.7 seconds. These pictures,
which contain 50 frame of video information, are
much brighter than normal one-frame images. This
mode is useful for shooting a poorly illuminated
object in a dark place.
The long exposure mode works only when in the
frame accumulation mode. Set FLD/FRM in the
PAGE 3/3 menu to FRM.

Notes
• In long exposure mode, AUTO IRIS does not

FRM mode in the PAGE 3/3 menu is set to FLD,
the error message "SPEED: xx FRM <FLD>"
appears on the screen.
