Sensor
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 CSI-2 cameras do not need additional cleaning. Cameras are cleaned before
shipping. Incorrect cleaning can damage the sensor or the filter. Therefore, never
clean the sensor or the filter.
Protect the camera filter and 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.
Lenses
Maximum protrusion
Sensor, filter, or lens can be damaged, if a lens exceeding maximum protrusion is
mounted to the camera. Use lenses with a maximum protrusion within camera
specifications.
Figure 3 shows maximum protrusion. For details, see Lens mounts,
filters, and maximum protrusion on page 45.
For S-Mount lenses, read Mounting and focusing S-Mount lenses on page 70 to
avoid damage to the sensor, electronics, and lens.
