How to fix Chronos Digital Camera showing a black or still image?

  Nina ArroyoSep 8, 2025
  If your Chronos Digital Camera is displaying a black or still image, the trigger mode may be set to ‘Exposure Trigger’ or ‘Shutter Gating’ without an external signal being received. If you don't intend to use these modes, go to Trigger/IO Settings and switch back to Record End Trigger for normal operation. If you wish to use one of these modes, check that you have the correct input selected, or connect a signal generator and send a signal of frequency equal to the desired frame rate.

  If your Chronos Digital Camera won't turn on, first ensure it has power by inserting a charged battery or connecting it to a mains power source. If it still doesn't power on, try removing the battery and AC adapter for 10 seconds, then reconnect and try again. Also, verify that the AC adapter is providing between 17 and 20V DC with a positive tip.

Why is a negative ghost image visible on my Chronos 1.4 Digital Camera?

  Chad RoblesSep 3, 2025
  If you're seeing a negative ghost image over the normal image on your Chronos Digital Camera, it's likely because the black cal was done without the lens cap on or with the aperture open. Perform the black cal again, ensuring you close the aperture fully or cover the lens.

  If you see a black ring around the image in your Chronos Digital Camera, it's likely because the lens is too small for the sensor. This is called vignetting. To eliminate it, change to a different lens.

  If the lens on your Chronos Digital Camera doesn't maintain consistent focus while zooming, it could be due to a misadjusted backfocus. Try readjusting the backfocus. Also, some lenses do not maintain focus during zoom. Focus needs to be adjusted after zooming.

  Stephen BaileyAug 29, 2025
  If you're seeing horizontal or vertical lines in the video from your Chronos Digital Camera, especially at resolutions below 1280 pixels, it's likely because a black cal was not performed after changing the shutter speed. Make sure to perform a black cal after every shutter speed or resolution change.

How to fix slightly wrong focus on Chronos 1.4?

  Matthew MarksAug 27, 2025
  If the focus on your Chronos Digital Camera is slightly off, and proper focus seems out of range, it could be due to a misadjusted backfocus. Try readjusting the backfocus. It may also be due to the lens limitation. Some lenses are slightly soft at fully wide aperture. Close aperture slightly and retry. Try f/2 or smaller.
