Fixing nuts
If fixing nuts are screwed with too much force, threads are worn out and lenses
cannot be locked anymore. Using pinch nose pliers, screw fixing nuts only with
enough force to keep the lens in a fixed position.

Sensors are sensitive to excessive
radiation: focused sunlight, lasers, and
X-rays can damage the sensor. Dirt and
scratches can damage the sensor, too.
Alvium cameras with S-Mount lenses
are delivered without a filter to
protect the sensor.
Alvium cameras do not need
additional cleaning. Cameras are
cleaned before shipping. Incorrect
cleaning can damage the sensor.
Therefore, never clean the sensor.
Protect the sensor from dirt, because
dirt becomes more visible the closer it
gets to the sensor. In addition, keep
the back lens clean. Hold the camera
with the lens mount facing the ground
to keep dirt out of the lens mount
