•
In File Settings of the SETUP menu, set the source to “s5M” or “s2M” (high picture
quality).
•
In Additional Settings of the SETUP menu, set External Out to “OFF” (without shutter
delay).
Check the screen for any abnormality. If no problems are found, save the image.
NOTE: If you are photographing a dark subject that requires a long exposure time,
use the camera head in a cool place to allow for its temperature to decrease.
This will help to reduce star-shaped noise and increase camera
performance.

Special Photography on Advn. Menu – Stroboscope Photographing
When you photograph an image with synchronized lighting using a stroboscope plugged into the
EXTERNAL OUT connector, observe the following precautions as you set up the DS-L1.

This setting enables output of a synchronizing signal.
•
The stroboscope is synchronized when the shutter speed of the DS-L1 is in the following
range:
5M cameras
5Mi mode: 1/3 s to 1 s
1.3Mp and 1.3Mi modes: 1/7 s to 1 s
2M cameras
1/15 s to 1 s
Select “MANU” for exposure mode and set the shutter speed within the above range.
•
No noise reduction functions are supported. Select NR OFF and leave it selected while in
use.
•
The DS-L1 does not have an automatic exposure function for stroboscope. Use the
automatical-brightness adjustment function of a stroboscope or select manual exposure in
the DS-L1 settings.

The stroboscope emits light when you press the CAPTURE button to save an image or the
freeze button to freeze the display. Freeze the display before saving an image; this will
allow you to check the photographic conditions.
NOTE: Compared to ordinary photography, there is a shutter delay in strobe
photography because the stroboscope emits light only after you press the
CAPTURE button.
