E Rear Fig. D
4 IEEE1394b connectors
Connect the IEEE1394b camera cable (supplied) to this connector.
5 Pilot lamp
This lamp indicates the camera module operation states:
OFF: Camera power OFF
Green: Camera power ON/Video signal output OFF
Orange: Camera power ON/Video signal output ON
6 TRIG IN (Trigger)/Exposure OUT connector
Connect the trigger signal generator (trigger output connector) to this
connector.
When the external trigger function is set to OFF, a signal indicating the
exposure time is output.
Installation
Fitting the lens Fig. E
1 Remove the lens mount cap.
2 Screw in the lens (not supplied), and turn it until it is secured.
Note
Clean the optical filter with a commercially available blower brush to remove
dust.
Using a tripod Fig. F
To use the tripod, install the tripod adaptor VCT-ST70I (not supplied) on the
camera module.
Use a tripod screw with a protrusion (
4 ) extending
from the installation surface, as follows:
ISO standard: Length 4.5 mm ±0.2 mm
ASA standard: Length 0.197 inches
Note
If you install a tripod adapter (not supplied), use the screws provided.
Connecting the camera cable Fig. G
Connect the IEEE1394b camera cable to the IEEE1394b connector and the
1394b interface connector of your computer. When you connect the cable,
insert the cable connector into the IEEE1394b connector until it snaps into
place, holding it. Then, tighten the fixing screws placed on both sides of the
cable connector.
