PREVENTION OF BLOOMING AND
SMEAR
When the camera is aimed towards spotlights or other
bright lights or light reflecting objects, smear or bloom-
ing may appear. Therefore the camera should be oper-
ated carefully in the vicinity of extremely bright objects
to avoid smear or blooming.
If the camera is aimed at the sun or very bright light,
such as laser beam, for a long period of time, the CCD
image sensor may be burned in and blemishes (white
or black dots) appears on the picture.
