Camera Control Method
You can control the camera module from host device
such as a PC. The following table shows the control
functions. You can send a command corresponding to
the control items, with parameters for the desired
setting, if necessary, from the host device to control the
camera.

Notes
Make sure to supply power to the camera module and
confirm that the camera module is operating before
inputting a sync or trigger signal. If you input external
signals to a camera module without the power
supplied, this may cause malfunction of the camera
module.
Be sure to turn off the power of the camera before
changing the settings of the RS-232C ON/OFF switch
and the 30 fps/15 fps switch.
IMPORTANT
When you control the camera using both an external
synchronous signal and the host device (e.g., a PC), be
sure to use the camera within the specified frequency
range. If the camera receives signals in frequencies
other than the specified one, the camera cannot be
controlled.
