(6) Electronic shutter mode switching
You can switch the shutter modes by adjusting the setting value of the command status register of the
camera via the Gigabit Ethernet. The setting method has two kinds of the following.
- Normal shutter
Performs exposure control via the internal synchronization signal.
PRESET mode 1/100, 1/250, 1/500, 1/1,000, 1/2,000, 1/4,000, 1/10,000
and 1/20,000s
Absolute value setting Any value is set up in 32-bit floating point form within the range
of 1/20000s to 2s
- Random trigger shutter:
Random trigger shutter can capture images at any timing using the external trigger signal and soft trigger
input. It is effective for image input of moving objects and obtaining images of the same timing using
multiple cameras. But there is an exposure delay time.
The random trigger shutter of this camera can be operated in two types of mode. How to determine the
exposure time differs depending on the mode.
Fixed mode: The exposure time depends on the normal shutter speed setting.
Pulse width mode: The exposure time depends on the pulse width.
Notes on long exposure:
- When you set the exposure time longer than approximately 1 second, white spots and the
unevenness in highlight portion might occasionally be observed on screen. This phenomenon
is due to the characteristics of the CCD image-pickup device, and do not reflect performance
error in the pickup device or CCD Camera itself.
