System Features
The DKC-ST5 Digital Photo Camera is a high-quality
electronic photography system, using a high-resolution
CCD camera with a total of 1,400,000 pixels. This
system can form the core of a studio portrait
photography system, or can be used for a variety of
applications in which still images are kept in a filing
system.
A maximum of nine images can be held in memory.
Stored images can also be transferred to a computer for
processing.
The following are some of the principal features of the
system.
High-resolution CCD camera head
The camera head uses a three-chip

-inch high-
resolution CCD with 1,400,000 total pixels.
Storage for up to nine images
Images can be captured into memory consecutively at
about 1-second intervals. After checking captured
images on a monitor, you can select the images for
transfer to a computer.
Flexible color gradation representation
The A/D conversion uses a 10-bit lookup table, which
makes for flexible color gradation representation.
Optimized dynamic range
Gamma correction and knee point adjustment allow
the dynamic range to be optimized.
Special-purpose lens for smooth manual
adjustment
The special-purpose lens (VCL-1205BYS) is available
separately, and provides a focusing ring and zoom ring
with a light touch, allowing for smooth manual
adjustment.
Simple camera operation
The procedure for using the camera is similar to that
for a conventional camera, so there are no particular
problems for users unaccustomed to video cameras or
digital devices.
Lens mount
In addition to the special-purpose lens (VCL-
1205BYS), you can fit any
