Ԛ
Brightness Adjustment Control Knob
This is the control knob used to adjust the brightness.
It functions as a fine adjustment when the electronic shutter and automatic speed
settings are enabled.
When the microscope adapter and the lens for auto iris mode are used, it functions as a
fine adjustment only when
ԙ
IRIS mode switch is set to automatic.
It can also adjust the iris from closed to open under the manual setting.
ԛ
Image Level Indicator
Indicates the image output level.
The image level indicator LED lights up red when the image output signal level has
exceeded 100%.
Ԝ
White Balance Button
This button executes automatic white balancing. It is used when the camera has not
been used for a while, when the color balance is unsatisfactory, or when the light source
has changed.
It is to be set by shooting a white subject and changing the brightness adjustment level
to the setting instantly before the image level indicator LED lights up red. When the
white balance button is pressed, “Auto White Balance” is displayed on the monitor
screen and white balance is executed. “= OK =” will be displayed on the screen several
seconds later and auto white balance will be completed.
If an auto iris lens or microscope adapter capable of iris control is used, the iris will be in
the optimal condition automatically.
ԝ
Color Bar Button
Outputs the built-in color bar signal for the camera to output the image. The brightness,
contrast and so forth on the color monitor can be adjusted using this color bar signal.
Ԟ
Slow Shutter Button
When the subject is rather dark, the shutter speed can be properly adjusted and the
subject can be shot with an ideal level of brightness by setting the shutter speed to
work slower than normal at 1/60 sec. However, this setting is not suited to rapidly
moving objects or objects whose movements need to be captured in real time because
image updating depends on the shutter speed. The maximum shutter speed value can
be changed using this setting.
