(1) Choosing display mode
Display mode here refers to one that is used to determine how an image is displayed on the
screen.
Feeling or features of camera operation vary with a combination of display mode and the source
you use during photographing. Refer to “Outline Guide to Source (Photographing Mode)
Settings” in “1.4.2 Image File Settings－File Settings” Chapter VI.
Sample settings that suit different uses are described below. Try these settings before
determining your own settings.
• Fine-adjusting the focus for a subject consisting of minute patterns → 1.3Mp, 5Mi, or
2Mfull
Ex.: Semiconductor pattern, low-magnification photography of cells and tissue,
fluorescent photography, landscape photography with a lens
• Moving the subject while observing → 1.3Mp, 2Mfull, or 800*5
Ex.: Semiconductor pattern, stereoscopic microscope observation, cell diagnosis,
general photography with a lens
• Focusing on a dark subject → 1.3Mi, 800*6
Ex.: Position or focus adjustment during fluorescent photography, nighttime
photography with a lens
• Photographing a dark subject in the shortest time possible → 1.3Mi, 800*6
Ex.: Fluorescent photography, nighttime photography with a lens
• Photographing a bright subject with priority placed on focusing → C.Scan
(2) Choosing exposure mode
Choose your desired exposure mode from “PROG,” “S_AE,” “MANU” or “F_AE.” Normally, “PROG”
should be selected.
Sample settings for different uses are described below. Try these settings before determining
your own settings.
• Photographing a moving subject → S_AE (combination with “1.3Mp”, “2Mfull”, or “800*5”
display mode)
• Eliminating fluctuations of exposure for moving subjects or when moving a subject while
observing → MANU or use AE_L in PROG
• Photographing under the same conditions at all times → MANU
Features of exposure modes and instructions on use
PROG: Automatic exposure
Choose “PROG” for general photography.
The DS-L1 automatically determines exposure based on a combination of the shutter
speed and camera sensitivity. In this case, the electronic shutter is automatically adjusted
in the following range.
For display modes other than C.Scan: 1 s to 1/1000 s
For display mode C.Scan, 1/15 s to 1/1000 s
• If the image is excessively bri ght, adjust the compensation icon CMP. +00 to the
negative side. Conversely, if the image is excessively dark, adjust the compensation
icon CMP. +00 to the positive side.
