uninsulated "dangerous volt-
age" within the product's enclo-
sure that may be of sufficient
magnitude to constitute a risk of
electric shock to persons.
The exclamation point within an
equilateral triangle is intended
to alert the user to the presence
of important operating and
maintenance (servicing) instruc-
tions in the literature accompa-
nying the appliance.

Introduction of SUPER-D5 (super dynamic function)
Integration of SUPER-D5 into the CCD and signal processing circuit has achieved approximately
160 times higher dynamic range as compared with conventional camera. Thanks to the integra-
tion of the darkness compensation function, a subject on which much illuminance difference exists
resulting from bright and dark areas can be naturally displayed in an image.
Introduction of newly developed high-resolution CCD
The introduction of the newly developed CCD with 976 of horizontal pixels has led to the horizontal
resolution of as high as 650 TV lines (typ.).
Auto back focus function (ABF) equipped
Moving the CCD inside the camera to an optimal position with the operation button of this unit or
the setup menu allows users to automatically adjust the back focus.
The back focus is adjustable with the setup menu through the system controller (option) even after
installation of this unit.
The auto back focus function also allows users to correct out of focus when changing between
color and black-and-white images.
High sensitivity achieved thanks to noise reduction function
Minimum illumination 0.1 lx (F1.4) has been accomplished for color images thanks to the introduc-
tion of low noise circuit design.
Night monochrome image activation function equipped
No operation is required at night because the image automatically changes from the color mode to
the black-and-white mode at low illuminance.
Intelligent VMD (i-VMD) functions of motion detection and object abandonment/removal
detection equipped
The motion and abandonment/removal of an object are detectable.
The states of covering the camera with a cloth, a cap or others and changing the camera direction
notably can be detected (scene change detection).
The detection resolution has been significantly improved as compared with a conventional type,
and the introduction of the newly developed detection method has improved detection accuracy
under the condition that the motion detection is prone to malfunction due to leaves swaying.
