External trigger shutter function
(1/15 to 1/10000 sec.)
You can obtain a freeze picture by inputting an
external trigger. This function is useful to shoot a fast-
moving object clearly.
High rate scan
The camera module can limit the number of effective
video output lines to achieve high frame rates,
enabling high-speed image processing.
Binning (XCL-U1000 only)
By “binning” two pixels that align vertically, you can
acquire a frame rate twice as high as that in the normal
mode.
Matrix (XCL-U1000C only)
Utilizing the matrix unit reproduces color more
accurately.

White balance can be set to any of the following
modes.

To execute the AWB, put a white object on the center
of the screen. Be sure it appears to be more than one
third of the entire screen space.
