CCD Integration Modes
◆ Switch between Field or Frame CCD
Integration modes using the function menu
buttons on the camera, or by using the
optional RM-C950 Controller.
— Field Integration is effective for capturing
moving objects. Since the charge is only
integrated over one field (1/60 of a second),
motion blur is reduced.
— Frame Integration mode on the other hand,
integrates the charge of each horizontal
pixel line for1/30 of a second, resulting in
higher vertical resolution than Field
Integration. Frame Integration mode is ideal
for use in still image capture.
Electronic Shutter Functions
◆ A variable speed electronic shutter is built
into the CCD imager, making it possible to
capture blur-free, clear images of high speed
moving objects. They feature11different
shutter speeds (OFF to1/100,000), including
flickerless mode.
◆ CCD Iris function automatically controls
exposure by electronically adjusting for
incoming light levels. It is equivalent to six
f-stops in lens iris and is effective in
microscope applications. It enables them to
adjust the incoming light level automatically,
even when using a less costly microscope
adapter without Auto Iris level control. When
the CCD Iris function is used with an auto
iris lens and AGC (Automatic Gain Control)
function, an even wider range of incoming
light levels can be accommodated.
◆ Clear Scan feature eliminates the horizontal
bands that appear across the screen when
shooting a computer display. This is achieved
by matching the camera shutter speed with
the display scanning frequency. Clear Scan
allows shutter speeds to be changed from
260/525 to1/525 H in 1H (63.5us) steps, or
by an eight-step speed selection — ideal for
shooting computer monitors without flicker
scrolling across the screen.
◆ Shutter speed (charge accumulation time) is
selectable from1 to 255 frames (field mode)
or 2 to 256 frames (frame mode) in one frame
steps. This Long Term Exposure function
provides remarkable enhancement in
sensitivity by accumulating the charge on the
CCDs over a longer time than normal, allow-
ing dark objects to be clearly recorded.
AE (Automatic Exposure)
AE automatically controls the level of brightness by varying the exposure times. This is done by
combining the CCD IRIS function, AGC (Automatic Gain Control), and Auto Iris function of the
lens. The DXC-390 and DXC-990 are equipped with a number of convenient AE modes:
AE Level: Adjusts the
standard brightness level
by up to +/- one F-stop in a
lens iris.
AE Speed: Selectable AE
(Auto Exposure) conversion
speed to suit applications
under varying lighting
conditions.
AE Area: AE Area is a light
metering system that in-
cludes six different modes.
With so many functions, the DXC-390 and DXC-990
are perfect for a variety of applications.
