1 Product Precautions
 Do not give shock to the camera.
 Do not haul or damage the camera cable.
 Do not wrap the camera with any material while using the camera. This will cause the internal camera
temperature to increase.
 When the camera moving or using the place that temperature difference is extreme, countermeasure for
dew condensation (heat removal / cold removal) is necessary.
 While the camera is not using, keep the lens cap on the camera to prevent dust or contamination from getting
in the sensor or filter and scratching or damaging it.
Do not keep the camera under the following conditions.
・ In wet, moist, high humidity or dusty place
・ Under direct sunlight
・ In extreme high or low temperature place
・ Near an object that releases a strong magnetic or electric filed
・ Place with strong vibrations
 Apply the power that satisfies the specified in specifications for the camera.
 The defective pixels may appear due to the sensor characteristics.
 Use below recommend materials (or equivalent materials) to clean the surface of glass.
・ Air dust: Non Freon air duster (NAKABAYASHI Co., LTD.)
・ Alcohol: Propan-2-ol (SAN’EI KAKO Co., LTD.)
・ Non-woven: nikowipe clean room (NKB)
 Use a soft cloth to clean the camera.

6.3 Button Description
Read All
Read out All of DPS register and uCOM register values on camera. Please execute this button when turning on
the camera every time.
DSP -> EEPROM
Save the DSP register values (that values are on DSP tab) into the EEPROM.
uCOM -> EEPROM
Save the uCOM register values (that values are on uCOM tab) into the EEPROM.
EEPROM -> DSP
Read the DSP register values on EEPROM.
EEPROM -> uCOM
Read the uCOM register values on EEPROM.
6.4 The Difference of uCOM register and DSP register
Mainly Video control functions are in the DSP register area. The communication settings and other functions as
the button setting are in the uCOM register. DSP has the eight User presets; User can load each DSP Preset for
each application.

6.5 Functional Description
DSP: Shutter/GainTab
AE
AE mode
Normal AE, Long AE, USER Mode can be selectable. If User likes to use Fixed Gain, Fixed Shutter, USER mode
should be selected.
Convergence luminance
This setting is target luminance at which AE has converged to the appropriate luminance.
AE convergence speed
This setting is used to set the time to be taken for the exposure amount appropriate for the image to be
established.
Convergence end dead band range
This setting is used to set the range in which convergence is to be identified. As for the detail, please refer to the
another chapter
Frame count for outside the dead band
When the absolute value of the error amount is below the setting and the same status has continued for frame
number.
AE tracking start dead band range
This function is used to ensure that the AE operation will not overly respond to changes in the subject when an
object has passed cut across the shooting screen while AE is in the appropriate status. Tracking is started when
the AE error amount is above the setting and this has continued for at least the number of outside thee dead
band frame number. As for the detail, please refer to the another chapter.
