Precautions
Personnel not trained in dealing with similar electronic devices should not service this camera.
The camera contains components sensitive to electrostatic discharge. The handling of these
devices should follow the requirements of electrostatic sensitive components.
Do not attempt to disassemble this camera.
Do not expose this camera to rain or moisture.
Do not face this camera towards the sun, extreme bright light or light reflecting objects.
When this camera is not in use, put the supplied lens cap on the lens mount.
Handle this camera with the maximum care.
Operate this camera only from the type of power source indicated on the camera.
Power off the camera during any modification such as changes of jumper and switch setting.
11.2.
Typical Sensor Characteristics
The following effects may be observed on the video monitor screen. They do not indicate any
fault of the camera, but do associate with typical sensor characteristics.
V. Aliasing
When the CCD camera captures stripes, straight lines or similar sharp patterns, jagged image on
the monitor may appear.
Blemishes
Some pixel defects can occur, but this does not have en effect on the practical operation.
Cameras are shipped in the condition that CCD spots are not visible.
In general, it is said that photo diodes of CCD sensor might damage by influence of cosmic ray and
as a result, CCD sensor will have spots.
Please pay attention so that camera might not be influenced by cosmic ray on storage and
transportation.
We also recommend to use sea shipment instead of air flight due to strong influence of cosmic ray
to camera.
Patterned Noise
When the sensor captures a dark object at high temperature or is used for long time integration,
fixed pattern noise may appear on the video monitor screen.
Caution when mounting a lens on the camera
When mounting a lens on the camera dusts particles in the air may settle on the surface of the
lens or the image sensor of the camera. It is therefore important to keep the protective caps on
the lens and on the camera until the lens is mounted. Point the lens mount of the camera
downward to prevent dust particles from landing on the optical surfaces of the camera. This work
should be done in a dust free environment. Do not touch any of the optical surfaces of the camera
or the lens.
Exportation
When exporting this product, please follow the export regulation of your own country.
