Appendix Appendix Notes on the Camera Operations When using Trigger mode When this camera is set to accept a trigger at the fastest possible timing, it can accept overlap of the next trigger signal in the midst of video transmission. For this reason, a trigger inhibition period is not available. Thus, if a trigger signal is input before the CCD can change to the state where it can accept exposures, multiple exposures can occur, and it cannot capture the correct image. Make sure that the followin
