Operating precautions
Handle the unit carefully.
Do not drop the unit or subject it to strong impact or
vibration. Doing so may cause the unit to malfunction.
When the unit is not in use
Turn off the unit’s power when it is not in use.
When the unit is no longer going to be used, do not leave it
lying around, but be absolutely sure to dispose of it properly.
Do not touch the optical system parts.
Under no circumstances must they be touched.
In the unlikely event that they have become dusty, remove
the dust by using a camera blower or by wiping them gently
with a lens cleaning paper.
Do not allow foreign matter to make contact with the
rotating parts.
Otherwise, trouble may be caused.
Keep the unit away from water.
Avoid all contact with water. Otherwise, problems may occur.
Maintenance
Be sure to unplug the power cable before proceeding with
maintenance.
Otherwise, you may injure yourself.
Wipe the surfaces using a soft dry cloth. Avoid all contact
with benzine, paint thinners and other volatile substances,
and avoid using these substances. Otherwise, this may
result in the deformation or discoloration of the casing.
Do not turn the camera head by hand.
Turning the camera head by hand may cause the unit to
malfunction.
Use the unit in an environment with minimal moisture
and dust.
Avoid using the unit in an environment with high
concentration of moisture or dust since these conditions will
damage the internal parts.
Disposal of the unit
When the unit has reached the end of its service life and is
to be disposed of, ask a qualified contractor to dispose of
the unit properly in order to protect the environment.

In some situations, it may be hard to focus at the auto
setting. In cases like this, select the manual setting, and
focus manually.
Zooming and focusing
When the focus is set manually, out‑of‑focusing may occur
during zooming.
After zooming, if necessary, either adjust the focus or set the
focus to auto.
When using the focus at the manual setting, proceed with
zooming after setting the focus position at the Tele end
where the focusing accuracy is higher.
(However, if the distance from the unit to the subject is less
than 30 cm, the subject may shift out of focus at the Wide
end.)
If zooming is performed to the Tele end after having adjusted
the focus at the Wide end, out‑of‑focusing may occur.
Concerning the home position
The ‘home position’ refers to the position to which the lens
moves first when the unit’s power has been turned on.
The home position settings (position, brightness, white
balance and focus) are the same as the preset 5 settings. To
change any of the home position settings, register them in
preset 5.
