6.2.1.

Shutter Speed

The exposure time (electronic shutter speed) of the camera can be set.
The exposure time can be calculated by the following formula:
Exposure time = the setting value of the shutter speed * 1 H period※1 H period = 560(Minimum) * 1PCLK ＝ 11.2μsec.
※1PCLK = 1/50,000,000sec. = 0.020μsec.

6.2.2.

External Trigger Function

This camera has an external trigger electronic circuit, which is insulated ｆby a photocoupler, and thus enables
synchronized shooting by the input signal received from the external circuit.
