6 Sensor Handling Instructions
6.1 Electrostatic Discharge and the Sensor
CMOS sensors are susceptible to damage from electrostatic discharge and can
deteriorate as a result. Take care when handing the sensor.
6.2 Protecting Against Dust, Oil and Scratches
The CMOS sensor window is part of the optical path and should be handled like
other optical components with care. If you use the camera in a dusty area, prepare
a dust-proof enclosure. Dust can obscure pixels, producing dark lines on the
image.
6.3 Cleaning the Sensor Window
Dust: Can usually be removed by blowing the window surface using a
compressed air blower.
Oil: Wipe the window with a lint-free cloth wiper moistened with ethyl alcohol
carefully and slowly.
When there is dust or smudges on the sensor window, it appears in the same way
as noise on the image. Please remove it appropriately.
