FULL

This mode captures all pixels on the image pickup device. You will get
high-definition images since photographing is made with the maximum
resolution of the DS camera head.

Recording/displaying
high-definition images

2x2

This mode obtains the image output on the image pickup device by integrating
each 2X2 pixel range into one pixel (binning). This achieves four times the
sensitivity, and therefore is suitable for photographing a dark subject.

Recording/displaying
binning images

4x4

This mode obtains the image output on the image pickup device by integrating
each 4X4 pixel range into one pixel (binning).This achieves 16 times the
sensitivity, and therefore is suitable for photographing a dark subject.

Recording/displaying
binning images

FAST

This mode compresses the information on the image pickup device to half the
original size, doubling the speed of obtaining the image. The fast display speed
of this mode suits a moving subject.

Recording/displaying
images

ROI-L

This mode displays only the center area of the image pickup device in the full
screen range. Capturing the image obtains the entire image on the image pickup
device.

Recording/displaying fast
partial images

ROI-S

This mode obtains and displays a lateral belt-shape area in the center of the
image pickup device. Upper 1/4 and lower 1/4 of the screen are blacked out.

Recording/displaying fast

C. SCAN

This mode obtains and displays a lateral belt-shape area in the center of the

Image modes selectable for each DS camera head

The applicable image mode options vary depending on the DS camera head connected. Refer to the table below for
applicable image modes for each DS camera head.

Automatic change of the image mode

In some cases, the image mode automatically changes with the following operations:

•

Selection of [SCENE/CSM]:

The mode changes to the one registered as the scene mode/custom setting.

•

Execution of [CLR SET]:

Executing [CLR SET] in the [CAM MENU: NR/SD/SET] screen changes the mode to [FAST] for DS-Fi2, Fi1, and
Fi1c, and to [FULL] for DS-Vi1, Qi1Mc, and Ri1.

•

Setting [2WIN] display on:

[FULL] is always selected as the image mode for the two-screen mode.

•

Selection of a function from [TOOL MENU] or [TOOL BAR]:

If the image mode is [ROI-L], [ROI-S], or [C.SCAN], it automatically changes to [FULL].

Image display for ROI-L/S and C.SCAN modes

•

When the DS-L3 is not used with NIS-Elements software and the ROI-L/S or C.SCAN image mode is selected,

the center portion of image data from the pickup device is shown.

•

When the DS-L3 is connected to the PC with NIS-Elements software, the desired portion of the image data

acquired can be displayed.
