When using CCD to shoot a bright light source, a smearing effect may occur running a
white line vertical to the light source. In addition, a blooming effect may also occur when the
light source is extremely bright, spreading light to the source surroundings.

• Line distortion

Line and patterns may appear distorted when shot.

• White spots

White spots may appear on the screen when operating under high temperatures. Always
use the product under recommended ambient temperatures.
White spots may also appear at a slow shutter speed setting (1/8 s or higher).
To reduce this phenomenon, this product is provided with at built-in white spot compensa­tion function. ( Z page E28 White spot compensation)

 Cautionary notes

• Influence of strong electric waves and magnets

Screen noise and discolouration may occur when using the product near antennas of ra­dios and televisions or near transformers, monitors, etc. with strong magnetic force.

• Compatible lenses (  page E17 Mounting the lens)

Although the lens mount of this product is a type C mount, take caution as there are restric­tions on the lenses that can be used.

• To save electricity, turn off the system when not in use.

 Cleaning

White spot compensation

One of the inherent, general characteristics of CCDs is that white spots may appear in the image
at slow shutter speeds or during shooting at high temperatures.
To moderate this phenomenon, this camera is provided with a white spot compensation function.

In the digital output mode, white spot adjustment should be performed using the special appli­cation software [KY-LINK].

How to use

 White spot detection
Because the number of spots and their size differ with the temperature and shutter speed, etc., it is necessary to
detect the positions of the white spots under the conditions of use before the white spot compensation is used.

1.

Make the settings under the conditions at which the unit
is to be used (ambient temperature and shutter speed,
etc.).

2.

Prevent light from entering the CCD by closing the lens
iris, etc.

3.

Open the side switch panel, and press the [MENU] but­ton for 2 seconds or longer. The [MENU] screen ap­pears on the monitor screen.

4.

Press the [UP] or [DOWN] button to select [PIXEL
CHECK] on the [PROCESS(2/2)] screen, and then press
the [SET] button to display the [PIXEL CHECK] screen.

5.

When the [SET] button is pressed, detection of the po­sitions of white spots starts. The detection may take
several minutes.

6.

When the detection is completed, “PIXEL CHECK OK

”

is displayed for about 3 seconds before the [MENU]
screen returns.

• The camera’s white spot compensation function cannot compensate completely for all white spots.

White spot detection and compensation by this camera must be performed under the following con­ditions. White spot compensation is not possible under other con­ditions. Even when these conditions are met, the properties of the
white spots may prevent compensation.

No. of detections and compensations: Within a total of 10 spots.

• The screen shown on the right may appear if light enters the CCD

while white spot detection is being performed, or due to the con­ditions of the white spots. In this case, confirm that light is not
entering the CCD. If light is not entering the CCD but the screen
nevertheless remain displayed, accelerate the shutter one step
and perform the detection again.

• When white spot compensation is carried out, the compensation

of the pixel data is performed based on surrounding pixel data,
which means that accurate data may not be obtained in case of
an image with fine details.

• The result of the white spot detection is retained until the next white spot detection is performed.

MEMO

• When the shutter speed is slower than 1/7.5 s, the
following phenomena may occur.

1) The screen update rate becomes longer in the case

of digital output.

2) The displayed image will appear intermittently in the

case of analog output.

3) Time will be required for the auto white, auto iris and

ALC operations.

If the shutter speed is set slower than 1 s, these
operations will behave as follows.

Auto white :

Auto white balance function cannot be started.
(  page E23 White balance adjustment)

Auto iris : Stops at the iris value at that time.
ALC : Stops at the sensitivity at that time.

To use a shutter speed slower than 1 s, use with the fol­lowing settings selected:

IRIS MODE : MANUAL
GAIN : STEP or V.GAIN

• There may be shortage of light when the shutter speed is
increased. In this case, adjust the iris or sensitivity. Atten­tion should be paid to the picture quality when the sensi­tivity is raised since the image becomes coarse.

About ALC and EEI operations

ALC stands for Automatic Level Control and EEI for Extended Electronic Iris. ( page E34)
By making the respective settings, the Automatic Level Control (ALC) will operate under dark
lighting, and the electronic shutter (EEI) will operate under bright lighting. Furthermore, setting
the IRIS mode to AUTO will synchronize sensitivity, iris and electronic shutter so that an appro­priate signal level can be acquired automatically at all times.
The ALC mode increases sensitivity from 0dB to +12dB under dark lighting and the EEI
modeautomatically adjusts the range of 1/7.5 s to 1/2384.7 s (calculated value) under bright
lighting. In other words, the signal level is adjusted in the range of 2 graduations of the aperture
under dark lighting and 8 graduations under bright lighting. When the IRIS mode is set to manual,
the sensitivity and electronic shutter change continuously while the iris setting stays fixed. (
page E33 IRIS MODE)
This feature holds the advantage of being able to shoot under changing light conditions without
the depth of field altering.

Operational range (when ALC MAX: +12dB)

MEMO

• The status of ALC and EEI can be displayed on the screen. (  page E40 AE DISPLAY)

• When EEI is used, the amount of change in one step of the signal level will be large and the precision

becomes bad as the shutter speed is faster.

• When analog output is used, and EEI LIMIT is set to 1s when a dark subject is shot, the image will
appear intermittently so the 1/7.5s setting should be used.
