10.7.1. Sequence of Operation

(1)

Processing branches according to the

mode input by the DIP switches or serial
input.

(2) In fixed value mode, the fixed gain is

selected, the signal is sent to the WB gain

amplifier.

(3) In ATW mode, the operation frame is
selected. Next, operations are performed

using the data from the OPD.

(4) The detection data from the OPD is
converted to R/G, B/G and (R-B)/G,
(R+B-2G)/G

format.

(5) In ATW mode, after performing white
detection, the operation frame is judged
and operation shifts to convergence
processing.
