Discoloration on the CCD color filter
When continuously shooting a bright light source such
as a spotlight, the color filter of the CCD may have
deteriorated and it may cause discoloration. Even when
changing the fixed shooting direction after continuously
shooting a spotlight for a certain period, the discol-
oration may remain.
Do not aim the camera at strong light sources.
A light source such as a spot light causes a blooming
(light bleeding) or a smear (vertical lines).
About the position refresh function
When the camera is being used for a long time, mis-
alignment of the preset positions may occur.
To solve this problem, it is recommended to assign the
position refresh function to the schedule in order to cor-
rect misalignment of the preset positions periodically.
About the self-diagnosis function
When the camera malfunctions due to exogenous
noise, etc. for 30 seconds or more, the camera will
automatically reset and will return to normal state. When
the camera is reset, initialization will be carried out as
when the power of the camera is turned on. When the
camera repeatedly resets, exogenous noise level
around the camera may be high and that may cause
malfunction. Contact your dealer for instructions.
Cleaning the camera body

dry cloth to clean the camera.
Do not use strong abrasive detergent when cleaning
