[2] Illuminance and shutter speed
The illuminance provided by the lighting equipment and the shutter speed must be set within the
proper range.
- The following graph shows the relation between illuminance and shutter speed for the IV-S20L16
camera lens (focal length 16 mm) with an aperture setting of f = 1.6.
Determine the proper amount of illuminance and the correct shutter speed, by referring to this
graph. Adjust the aperture as necessary.
- To measure a moving object, or to increase the image processing speed, set the shutter speed to 1/
1000 sec. or 1/2000 sec. or faster. However, an extremely high shutter speed will require intense
lighting, thereby increasing the cost.

- The standard relationship between illuminance and shutter speed is given above for
reference. When actually installing the equipment, make sure the proper combination is used
for the actual system.
