HAD CCD , containing some 380,000 effective picture
elements (pixels). The camera has four features that ensure
high image quality:
• High horizontal resolution: 750 TV lines
• High sensitivity (defined as minimum required
illumination): 2,000 lux at F9.5
• High signal-to-noise ratio: 60 dB
• Low smear
Compact and lightweight
The camera is very compact (70 × 72 × 123.5 mm) and very
light (670 g), allowing for easy installation into places
where space is a problem.

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 6 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 be very helpful when using the
camera in a microscope system.
