External HD/VD signals are analyzed and the synchronization mode is automatically selected
to match the input signals.
Internal Synchronizing Signal Output
HD and VD signals can be outputted from the 12-pin connector by changing the switch position on the rear panel.
Electric Shutter Speed
A variety of shutter speeds (1/100 to 1/100,000 sec) is provided to permit choice suitable for
shooting conditions.
External Trigger Function
A trigger input provides one still image. This function exactly captures a subject moving at a
high speed.
Cabinet Fixing
The cabinet fixing screw hole is provided below the front panel which includes the CCD datum
level. Fix the camera using this screw hole to minimize shifts in the optical axis.

an arbitrary timing. T o set this mode, set the external trigger mode selection switch (i.e., MODE

Long Term Exposure
When the camera is used and sufficient sensitivity cannot be obtained for the reset-restart
function under normal operating conditions, or when observation of the trail of a moving
subject is desired, the exposure time can be extended to allow high-sensitivity images to be
obtained. To achieve this, please input from an external source a VD signal that has an expanded VD pulse and VD pulse interval.

In the external trigger mode, the
camera is automatically set to Field
accumulation regardless of the
MODE SELECT switch bit 9 position.
The following two modes are available for video timing.
• SYNC-NON RESET Mode
In this mode, the video is synchronized to VD after the trigger input.
When external HD*/VD is input: Sync is to external VD
When external HD*/VD is not input: Sync is to internal VD
*There is automatic determination of external sync or internal sync by the presence or
absence of external HD input.
• SYNC-RESET Mode
In this mode, reset is applied to the internal VD and the video is output after a fixed period
following the trigger pulse.
External Trigger Shutter Speed Setting
The following two methods are available for shutter speed setting.

Set all dip switches (1 to 4) of the rear panel to “OFF”.
An arbitrary shutter speed is obtained by setting the width of the trigger pulse to 2 µs or
