  • Page 105 Multi-trigger recording Each selected memory segment is divided into 1 to 16 blocks (these can be incremented or decremented in units of 1) and recording proceeds while blocks are automatically changed one by one in response to each trigger signal. When multi-trigger recording is to be done, set the number of blocks to 2 or more (1 in normal state) and input the trigger after the onset of ARM.
  • Page 106 Main functions of multi-trigger recording ■ 1. As far as multi-trigger recording is concerned, there are periods between recording blocks during which recording cannot be done. Therefore, blocks must be spaced between them for at least the following periods (space of time between the end of a given one-block recording and the beginning of recording images into the next block) before recording is initiated so as to accurately record the relationship between the recording time and the recording frame image.

  • Page 113 Color Balance Operation 4.9.1 White Balance Whit Balance is a post-processing enhancement. When an image is recorded, the raw data in memory is not affected by this setting. The setting can be changed later at playback. There are six White Balance settings.
  • Page 114 4.9.2 Auto-Track White Balance (AWB) The Automatic White Balance function of the MEMRECAM fx employs a method where the corresponding color temperature is detected based on the signal of the image received. To match the proper white balance, it is necessary to extract the colorless data from the image signal. This is accomplished by integrating the entire image until it becomes colorless.
