Troubleshooting

Image is out of 
focus.

• The lens has dust, dirt, fingerprints or droplets on it.

Clean the lens with a cotton bud (see page 102 of the 
Operating Instructions on the Setup CD-ROM).

• The object is too close to the camera.

The camera cannot focus at short distances 
(less than 0.5 m). Locate the object more than 0.5 m away 
from the camera.

The color on the 
image is 
strange.

• White balance does not work well.

Adjust the white balance on the Camera page (see page 45 
of the Operating Instructions on the Setup CD-ROM).

• The color display setting on your PC is set lower than 16 bits.

Set the color display 16 bits or higher.

Image flickers.

• The object is dark.

Make the area around the camera brighter.

• The AC power source frequency setting is wrong.

Set the proper AC power source frequency used in your area 
(see page 45 of the Operating Instructions on the Setup CD-
ROM).

• A bright object may cause horizontal flickers on the image.

Changing the object improves the flickers. Or adjusting 
brightness to the [+] side on the operation bar eases the 
flickers.

An old image is 
displayed.

• The old image is temporarily stored on the web browser.

Set [Every visit to the page] on the web browser to check for 
temporary Internet files (see page 110 of the Operating 
Instructions on the Setup CD-ROM).
