Selection
VARIABLE
Function
Use for fine adjustment of the video output level in
long exposure mode (low-speed mode) or in clear
scan mode (high-speed mode).
Long exposure mode
You can set the SPEED value in units of 1 frame.
For example, if you set to 50 frames (about 1.7
seconds), the video signal produced during this set
time is output in the form of one complete frame at
intervals of about 1.7 seconds. These pictures,
which contain 50 frames of video information, are
much brighter than normal one-frame images. This
mode is useful for shooting a poorly illuminated
object in a dark place.
To set the shutter speed
1 Display OFF by pressing the B and b buttons
simultaneously.
2 Select the SPEED value by pressing the b
button. Each time you press the button, the value
changes in units of 1 frame.
To convert the value into the shutter speed
Example: When the value is set to 5 frames
5 × 1/30 = 0.1666 seconds (DXC-390)
5 × 1/25 = 0.2000 seconds (DXC-390P)
Notes
• Do not use AGC, CCD-IRIS, ATW, DCC+ and
DYNALATITUDE functions in long exposure
mode.
• When you set the shutter speed to 1 second or
higher, set the gain level to 0 dB.
