If the camera is not used in any way for 30 seconds, this function turns features
such as the LCD monitor off (Sleep mode) to prevent battery depletion and the
waste of power when the AC power adapter is connected. If the camera is then left
unused for a further period, the Auto power save function turns the camera off.
This period can be set to 2 minutes or 5 minutes on this camera.
The Auto power off function does not operate in PC mode, during automatic
playback, or if it is disabled during setup.

bright subjects and smaller for dark subjects. As the brightness of the subject

3-3-2.Explanation of Functions of Individual Blocks.
(1)CCD signal Processing/Picture-taking Blocks (CCD BLOCK and CAM BLOCK)
The analog signals output by the CCD(1/1.7 inch Fourth Generation Super CCD SR sencer with 6.2 million effctive
pixels[total](IC1)) undergo color compensation, adaptive interpolation, amplification (ACG) and signal mixing in the [ACS
(IC103)] CCD signal processing IC. After that, the signals are converted into 12-bit digital signals and sent to the [UCS2
(IC206)] system LSI.
This block has a [V-dr(IC101)] for driving the CCD.
(2)Motor Block(MOTOR BLOCK)
Upon receiving commands from operating switches, the [UCS2 (IC206)] signal processing LSI manages the motor drive IC
(IC151) so as to control the motors for AF, shutter, zoom and iris.
(3)Image Signal Processing Block(PROCESS BLOCK)
Input Data from the CCD
The 12-bit digital image data (equivalent to 1H) output by the image unit (CCD/CAM BLOCK) is sent to the [UCS2 (IC206)] system LSI. It is
here converted into 32-bit data by the internal buffer of the LSI, and image data of 2832 x 2128 pix per frame is temporarily stored in the
[SDRAM (IC205)].
Recording Processing to the xD Card
The image data stored in the [SDRAM (IC205)] of the [UCS2 (IC206)] system LSI is sent to the signal processing block one
line at a time where it undergoes unpack processing (32-bit >> 12-bit conversion, processing required prior to digital clamping, ( compensation, 12-bit >> 8-bit R/G/B conversion) and YC processing (8-bit digital R/G/B signal >> Y:Cb:Cr = 4:2:2). The
8-bit Y/Cb/Cr data is then sent to the [internal buffer]. In the [internal buffer], data is arranged in a format that is easy to
convert the 8-bit Y/Cb/Cr data into DCT. After going through the [JPEG calculation unit] and the [media controller], it is
recorded on the xD card.
Image Reproduction from the xD Card
The compressed image data from the xD card is sent to the [UCS2 (IC206)] system LSI as 8-bit image data. It is then sent to
the [media control unit] >> [DRAM unit] >> [SDRAM (IC205t)] >> [media controller] >> [JPEG calculation unit] >> [signal
processing unit]. The [signal processing unit] does the post-processing of converting the 8-bit Y/Cb/Cr signals into 8-bit R/G/
B signals. At the same time, it weighs the text display signal and displays the text on the LCD UNIT via the [LCD controller].
Picture-taking system adjustment data is stored in the[ FLASH ROM (IC207)].
(4)LCD UNIT
The digital signal sent from the [UCS2 (IC206)] system LSI is sent to the drive IC (IC802/804), where [LCD drive] and [LCD
panel control] are performed.
(5)Power Supply Block(DCDC BLOCK)
The power supply block is built around the DC IC (IC401). It generates the below power supplies and supplies them to the
individual blocks.
