Phenomena Specific to CMOS Image Sensors
The following phenomena are known to occur on cameras equipped with CMOS image sensors.
These do not indicate malfunctions.
l
Aliasing
: When shooting straight lines, stripes, and similar patterns, vertical aliasing
(zigzag distortion) may appear on the monitor.
l
Blooming
: When strong light enters the camera, some pixels on the CMOS image sensor
may receive much more light than they are designed to hold, causing the accumulated
signal charge to overflow into surrounding pixels. This “blooming” phenomenon can be seen
in the image but does not affect the operation of the camera.
l
Fixed pattern noise
: When shooting dark objects in high-temperature conditions, fixed
pattern noise may occur throughout the entire video monitor screen.
l
Defective pixels
: Defective pixels (white and black pixels) of the CMOS image sensor are
minimized at the factory according to shipping standards. However, as this phenomenon
can be affected by the ambient temperature, camera settings (e.g., high sensitivity and long
exposure), and other factors, be sure to operate within the camera’s specified operating
environment.
Phenomena Specific to InGaAs Image Sensors
The following phenomena are known to occur on cameras equipped with InGaAs linear image
sensors. These do not indicate malfunctions.
l
Blooming
: When the camera is pointed at scenes containing very bright areas or strong
light sources, some pixels on the InGaAs linear image sensor may accumulate more than
the maximum charge allowed, causing the excess charge to overflow into the surrounding
pixels. While this "blooming" affects image quality, it does not affect the operation of the
camera.
