NOTE:  Adjusting the focus of a dark subject can also be performed by pressing the 

     (focus button). When the button is right-clicked, the camera gain is 
increased to adjust the exposure automatically so that the exposure time 
will not be too long. Then, the live image is displayed while keeping the 
exposure status. When right-clicking on the            (focus button), to increase 
the response at focusing, "NR OFF" status is set. 
Left-click on the          (focus button) to access manual mode without 
adjusting the exposure. 

 

There are two photometry modes: 

 

  Average photometry 

 

  Peak-hold photometry 

 

Normally, average photometry should be selected. The icon indicates the currently selected 
photometry mode. 
Sample settings that suit different uses are described below. Try these settings before 
determining your own settings. 

 

•  There are few luminance changes over the entire screen that has a bright field → Average 

photometry 

•  Whites on the background need to be whiter. → Peak-hold photometry, with exposure 

correction added 

•  The background is mostly black, and the subject is sporadically bright. → Peak-hold 

photometry 

 

 

Use one of the photometry area icons to specify a range of the screen in which you want the 
exposure to be adjusted. 
Normally, a wide photometry range is recommended. 
To avoid influences from the periphery of the screen, choose a narrow photometry range. 

NOTE:  Displaying phoytometry area 

The photometry range is displayed with a red frame for a limited time when 
the ran, right-click again. 

 

 

When you set the tone, the contrast will change. Sample settings are shown below. Confirm 
tones on the monitor when you set a tone, and select the most suitable one. 

 

•  To observe gradation in highlight reflections → TONE1 

Recommended example: IC chips, part-mounting circuit board solder, component leads, 
gears, etc. 

•  To weaken or strength the standard contrast → TONE2 (weak) or TONE4 (strong) 

Recommended example: General photography 

•  To read the difference in luminous energy from the photographed image data → TONE5
