FRAME IMAGE OUTPUT WITH STROBE LIGHT
A full frame image with vertical resolution of 485 lines (XC-ST70) or 575 lines (XC-ST70CE) can be obtained with
a strobe light by firing the strobe when the exposure time of the two fields overlap.
Timing and conditions
Odd and even fields are determined by the phase of the EXT HD/VD signal input from the outside.
Avoid lighting the scene during the light-emitting inhibit zone defined below. (The field is transfered to the
storage area of the CCD, so it can be read out.)
: For best performance, it is recommended not to flash between VD and VD + 10H (XC-ES50/ES30, XC-EI50/EI30)/
16H (XC-ES50CE/ES30CE, XC-EI50CE/EI30CE).
