Thank you for purchasing this product. (These instrustions are for ADC770) Before beginning to operate this unit, please read the instruction manual carefully in order to make sure that the best possible performance is obtained. CONTENTS INTRODUCTION Features ... 6 Operating Precautions ...
INTRODUCTION Features A new DSP (Digital Signal Processor) features a Extended Dynamic Range (ExDR) and enables to shoot both bright and dark locations. The use of a new CCD with a SENSE UP (X32) function realized the minimum luminous flux density for subject of 0.8 lx (F1.2, 50%, AGC 20dB) and 0.025 lx (at slow shutter).
Operating Precautions To save energy, when it is not being used turn the system’s power off. This camera has been designed for indoor use. When you use it outdoor, be sure to use a housing and the like. Do not install or use the camera in the following places.

Item SHUTTER This sets the electronic shutter as well as the ExDR (Extended (ExDR) Dynamic Range). The use of an electronic shutter function enables shooting with proper brightness, as more brightness results in higher shutter speed. The ExDR function allows even the shooting of a subject having different luminous flux density by composing a picture shot at 1/120 sec.
