Phantom Miro M & LC Series Camera Manual

This provides detail in areas of the image that
would otherwise be overexposed. EDR is usually
recommended for monochrome cameras only.
The Shutter Off mode was designed for PIV
applications, and maintains a maximum exposure
regardless of frame rate. This allows for a straddle
time of 500 ns on the Miro 110 and Miro 310 and 1.4
µs on the Miro 120 and Miro 320S monochrome.
An internal mechanical shutter for remote and
automatic black references comes standard on all
models. This means each shot is properly black
referenced for maximum image quality without the
need to manually cap the lens or even touch the
camera.
Each camera model comes in three memory
configurations: 3 Gigabytes (GB), 6 GB or 12 GB.
The high-speed internal memory can be segmented
into as many as 16 partitions for Cine storage. (A
Cine is Vision Research’s raw image format that
stores all image data in a compact file.)
At the end of any shot, save your Cine to the
removable Phantom CineFlash storage media at
about 4GB/minute. CineFlash allows you to save a
copy of your Cine to non-volatile memory for later
retrieval, and avoid costly downtime while you
download from camera memory to a computer hard
disk. When done with an experiment, just remove
the CineFlash from the camera, insert it into its
docking station connected to a PC, and drag-and-
drop Cines from the CineFlash onto your computer
disk or connected hard drive.
Phantom Miro M- and LC-Series cameras are
available with 4 different interchangable lens
mounts, which must be chosen at the time of
purchase. Choose between a Canon EOS, Nikon
F, C-mount or 35mm PL-mount. The EOS mount
enables the use of compatible EF and EF-S lenses,
and focus and aperture can be adjusted via our
