CENTRALDS CDS-5D USER GUIDE
Camera operation and responsibility
We provide a SD memory card to save images with the camera. CentralDS will not be responsible for any
inconvenience or loss due to failure of storing images to the SD card or defective images stored in the
card.
You can use this camera for personal use anywhere in the world.
Handling precaution
•
This camera is a high precision device. Please do not drop and
avoid any physical impact against camera.
•
This camera is not waterproof. If you drop the camera in water,
wipe off any water droplets from the camera with a dry cloth and
contact CentralDS.
•
Do not leave the camera under the direct sunlight. High
temperature can damage the camera.
•
Do not disassemble the camera.
•
Please use a dust blower to remove dusts on the filter.
•
Do not disassemble the filter. If the airtight sealing is damaged,
dew can form inside the camera.
•
If the camera is disassembled by personnel not authorized by
CentralDS, the warranty will be voided.
•
Do not leave the camera attached to a telescope with the cooling system off for long time. Dew can
form on the surface of the camera and this can damage the camera.
•
If condensation forms on the camera, do not use the camera.
•
If the camera is suddenly brought in from the cold into a warm room, condensation may form on the
camera and internal parts. To prevent condensation, first put the camera in a sealed plastic bag and
let it adjust to the warmer temperature before taking it out of the bag.
•
Store the camera in a sealed container with desiccants (i.e. Silica gel) or cool, dry, well ventilated
location.
•
Image sensor dust – CentralDS tests each camera with test exposures to check the image sensor is
dust free before shipping. However about 2 – 4 % of the customer reported dusts on the image
sensor. If you see marks on your image due to the dusts on the image sensor, please contact
CentralDS for servicing. Do not disassemble the camera to clean the dusts.
•
Caution with the cooling system activated – the TEC cooling system for the image sensor is designed
to emit substantial amounts of heat to outside. This does not cause any problem on the camera
operation but a minor burn can be caused if skin is contacted with the cooling system for extended
period time.
•
Don’t set cooling temperature under -45C.
If you cool down the CMOS temperature to
-45C under, Micro lenses of Image sensor (=CMOS) will be destroyed.
