Shutter Settings - Sony CCU-TX50 Operating Instructions Manual

Shutter Settings

This section covers the settings for electronic shutter
speed and CLS (clear scan ) function.
The new value for the shutter speed or clear scan
frequency setting remains set until changed, even
when the camera is powered off.
Shutter speeds
There are six shutter speeds, from
1
D50WSL) or / s (DXC-D50P/D50WSPL) to
60
Increasing the shutter speed reduces blurring when
shooting a fast-moving subject. It is also possible to
reduce flicker when shooting under fluorescent
lighting by changing the shutter speed.
CLS (Clear Scan) function
When shooting a computer screen or projected image,
horizontal bands may appear in the camera image.
This is because the vertical scan frequency of the
computer-generated image is different from the
vertical scan frequency of the video system. The clear
scan function allows you to select a vertical scan
frequency to reduce this interference.

Notes on setting the shutter speed
• The faster you make the shutter speed, the darker the
image becomes. Check the brightness in the
viewfinder, and if necessary increase the lighting
level or adjust the aperture.
• When the shutter speed is very fast, shooting a high
intensity subject may cause long vertical tails to
appear on the highlights (smear).
Note on setting the CLS function
The vertical scan frequencies of computer screens
vary, and it may not be possible to eliminate the
interference patterns entirely. Note also that the
vertical scan frequency may change depending on the
software being run.

viewfinder.
Example: ":SHUTTER:1/250", ":CLS:60.38Hz"
Before the current setting indication disappears in
Step 2, press the SHUTTER switch toward the
