Single Shot, set Freeze timer to an optimum period that is
long enough for your camera to respond and short enough to
capture the maximum number of Events. The following pro-
cedureallowsyoutondouttheoptimumFreezevaluefor
your camera.
When the optimum Freeze value is determined, do not use
lower Freeze values as the camera may not be able to
respond to signals shorter than that.
(1) Turn the dial to position 1 and switch the LV5 ON.
(2) Set the LV5 to Single Shot.
(3) Set the LV5 to the Freeze period being tested. We
suggest starting at 20ms, i.e., dial position 2 on the
select dia l.
(4) Set up the LV5 Sensor in Trap Mode.
(5) Set up the camera to the mode you will use for shooting.
In general, manual exposure and manual focus are
quickest. You may get different results in other modes.
