About the CMOS image sensor
• When continuously shooting a bright light
source such as a spotlight, the color filter
of the CMOS image sensor may become
deteriorated and this may cause discolor-
ation. Even when changing the fixed
shooting direction after continuously
shooting a spotlight for a certain period,
the discoloration may remain.
• When shooting fast-moving subjects or
performing panning/tilting operations,
objects crossing the shooting area may
look to be bending askew.
Cleaning this product body
Be sure to turn off the power before cleaning.
Failure to observe this may cause injury. Do not
use benzine, thinner, alcohol, or any other
types of solvents or detergents. Otherwise, it
may cause discoloration. When using a chemi-
cal cloth for cleaning, read the caution provid-
ed with the chemical cloth product.
• Do not loozen or remove screws unless
instructed to do so in the product documen-
tation.
• The camera position may be moved inad-
vertently while cleaning the camera body.
Restart the product or refresh the camera
position (position refresh) to correct the
camera position. Refer to the Operating
Instructions on the the Panasonic support
website for further information.
Cleaning of the front panel
• When cleaning the front panel, hose or
spray fresh water that is not containing
lubricant agent or silicon substances and
wash away adherents such as grain of
sand. If dirt is hard to remove, use a
sponge soaked into the fresh water men-
tioned above and wipe off.
• Do not wipe the cover with a dry cloth.
(Using dry cloth may spread oil constituent
adhered to the surface, and it may result in
damaging the ClearSight coating (rain
wash coating).)
• If dirt cannot be wiped off with a damp
cloth, use a neutral detergent for kitchen
utensils, and sufficiently rinse off the deter-
gent.
When using a detergent containing wax
components such as determent for wash-
ing cars, a detergent with polishing mate-
rial such as a compound, etc., and a non-
neutral (weakly acidic or weakly alkaline)
detergent, it can decrease the hydrophilic
property and peel off the surface coating.
• Do not use organic solvent such as ben-
zine and thinner.
• Before using a spray, abandon a few
sprays to eliminate impurities.
• Improper cleaning of the front panel may
cause the ClearSight coating (rain wash
coating) to become less effective. In this
case, in order to have effective ClearSight
coating (rain wash coating), a new front
panel must be purchased to replace the
existing front panel. Consult with your
dealer or construction contractor.
About the stabilizer function
Depending on the conditions in the installation
area, effects of the stabilizer function may not
be fully achieved.
Consumable parts
The following are consumables: Replace them in
accordance with their operating lifetimes. Their
operating lifetimes vary depending on the usage
environment and conditions. The operating life-
times below are just guides for when using the
camera at +35 °C {95 °F}.
• Lens unit, panning motor, tilting motor:
Approx. 3.7 million operations (Approx.
20000 hours)
Cooling fan: Approx. 52000 hours
Slip ring: Approx. 3.7 million operations
(Approx. 20000 hours)
• When continuing the action of moving the
set position for a long period, dust may
accumulate in a slip ring. It can be prevented
by executing the position refresh action reg-
ularly (about once a week) using the sched-
ule setting.
