z The tables in 10 and 11 (on page 7 and later) notate the data H first, then L. You should however transmit the data L first, then H.
5-1. Operating KEY LOCK
If you transmit the KEY LOCK command (4B 0D FF FF or 4B 0E FF FF), you can not operate by KEY LOCK switch
on the rear panel until the following actions are performed.
・ Disconnect a cable of RS-232C.
・ Turn off the computer.
・ After turning off the camera, turn it on again.
5-2. MEMORY DATA READ／WRITE
１）MEMORY DATA READ REQUEST（05 ADDRESS FF FF）
- This function is used to read items that can be configured by OSD（two-byte data）.
- For the contents of ADDRESS and DATA, see 11.”ADDRESS&DATA(1 ｓｔ byte=05H,53H).”
- This function reads the contents of the specified item.
２）MEMORY DATA WRITE REQUEST（53 ADDRESS DATA(L) DATA(H)）
- This function is used to rewrite the contents of items that can be configured by OSD（two-byte data）.
- For the contents of ADDRESS and DATA, see 11.”ADDRESS&DATA(1 ｓｔ byte =05H,53H).”
- This function rewrites the contents of the specified item.
- During AWB(while the data in AUTO READ is 01H)，the product will not accept the MEMORY DATA WRITE
REQUEST command. (The product will return the return code due to the camera mode error.
See 6.”Return code.”)
３） MEMORY DATA READ REQUEST（FF ADDRESS FF FF）
- This function is used to read the status data of the camera (two-byte data).
- For the contents of ADDRESS and DATA, see the contents of 12.”ADDRESS & DATA (1st byte＝FFH).”

7．AWB
１） To start AWB, take an image of a white subject and transmit an AWB SART command under the following
conditions:
●The WB mode should be AWB.
●The camera screen (a live image) should be on. （The OSD PAGE data should be 00H.）
●AWB，ABB，SHD should not be under execution. （AUTO READ data should not be 01H，0BH，0FH）
２） For the AWB status (whether in progress or complete) and the final result, read the contents of AUTO READ by
using the MEMORY DATA READ REQUEST(FF 03 FF FF) command. For the causes of errors, refer to the following:
NG
: AWB will not be completed within a specified time.
: Color temperature is too high.
CTEMP HIGH
CTEMP LOW
LEVEL HIGH
LEVEL LOW
: Color temperature is too low.
: The level of the image in the area is too high.
: The level of the image in the area is too low.
NOT AVAILABLE : AWB START command has been transmitted when the conditions specified in 1) are unmet.
8．ABB
1)To start ABB, transmit an ABB START command under the following conditions:
●The camera screen (a live image) should be on.（The OSD PAGE data should be 00H.）
●AWB，ABB，SHD should not be under execution. （AUTO READ data should not be 01H，0BH，0FH.）
2)For the ABB status (whether in progress or complete) and the final result, read the contents of AUTO READ by
using the ABB MEMORY DATA READ REQUEST（FF 03 FF FF） command. For the cause of errors, refer to the
following:
NG
: ABB will not be completed within a specified time.
: The lens iris is open. Close the lens iris.
CLOSE LENS
9．ASHD (AUTO SHADING)
1)To start AUTO SHADING, transmit an ASHD START command under the following conditions:
●SHADING setting of OPTION should be SET.( OPTION SHADING MODE data should be 00H.)
●The camera screen (a live image) should be on. （OSD PAGE data should be 00H.）
●AWB，ABB，SHD should not be under execution. ( AUTO READ data should not be 01H，0BH，0FH.）
2)For the SHD status (whether in progress or complete) and the final result, read the contents of AUTO
READ by using the MEMORY DATA READ REQUEST（FF 03 FF FF）command. For the causes of errors, refer to the
following:
SHD LIMIT
: Automatic shading correction operation finished, however, the correction necessary exceeds
the camera’s range so the maximum possible value is applied.
: The level of the image in the area is too high.
LEVEL HIGH
LEVEL LOW
SHD NG
: The level of the image in the area is too low.
: AUTO SHADING will not be completed within a specified number of times.
: ASHD START command has been transmitted when the conditions specified
in 1) are unmet.
NOT AVALABLE
10．Other
The product will store the data even if the data changes made in MEMORY DATA WRITE REQUEST（53 ADDRESS
DATA(L) DATA(H)） is not enabled in the camera mode at the time of the change. The next time the product
switches to the mode in which the data is enabled, the data will be reflected on the camera status.
Example: Setting MANUAL SHUTTER to 1/10000S, setting when the SHUTTER MODE is AUTO.
=> The product will only switch to 1/10000S when the SHUTTER MODE switches to MANUAL.
