Other settings required
• In File Settings of the SETUP menu, set the source to “s5M” or “s2M” (high picture
quality).
• In Additional Settings of the SETUP menu, set External Out to “OFF” (without shutter
delay).
Check the screen for any abnormality. If no problems are found, save the image.
NOTE: If you are photographing a dark subject that requires a long exposure time,
use the camera head in a cool place to allow for its temperature to decrease.
This will help to reduce star-shaped noise and increase camera
performance.
2.1.5 Special Photography on Advn. Menu – Stroboscope Photographing
When you photograph an image with synchronized lighting using a stroboscope plugged into the
EXTERNAL OUT connector, observe the following precautions as you set up the DS-L1.
• Select “ON” for External Out in Additional Settings on the SETUP menu and press SAVE .
This setting enables output of a synchronizing signal.
• The stroboscope is synchronized when the shutter speed of the DS-L1 is in the following
range:
5M cameras 5Mi mode: 1/3 s to 1 s
1.3Mp and 1.3Mi modes: 1/7 s to 1 s
2M cameras 1/15 s to 1 s
Select “MANU” for exposure mode and set the shutter speed within the above range.
• No noise reduction functions are supported. Select NR OFF and leave it selected while in
use.
• The DS-L1 does not have an automatic exposure function for stroboscope. Use the
automatical-brightness adjustment function of a stroboscope or select manual exposure in
the DS-L1 settings.
• Adjust the white balance from a frozen image, following the procedure described below.
1) While photographing a uniformly white subject, press the freeze button to freeze
the display. (At this time, the stroboscope will flash. Be careful to avoid
overexposure.)
2） Press the WB button, then deselect freeze.
• The stroboscope emits light when you press the CAPTURE button to save an image or the
freeze button to freeze the display. Freeze the display before saving an image; this will
allow you to check the photographic conditions.
NOTE: Compared to ordinary photography, there is a shutter delay in strobe
photography because the stroboscope emits light only after you press the
CAPTURE button.
