About the MOS image sensor
• When continuously shooting a bright light source such
as a spotlight, the color filter of the MOS image sen-
sor may become deteriorated and this may cause dis-
coloration. 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 shoot-
ing area may look to be bending askew.
Periodically images on the screen appear to be dis-
torted
When the camera is installed in a location where it is sub-
ject to small vibrations (for example, when it is installed
near devices that vibrate), images may appear distorted
and stretched lengthways. This phenomenon is a charac-
teristic of image pickup devices that use CMOS sensors
and is caused by the relationship between the periodic
movements of the camera and the timing that the image
sensor reads images. This is not a problem with the cam-
era. To reduce the possibility of this phenomenon occur-
ring, install the camera in a secure location.

Consumable parts
The following are consumables: Replace them in accor-
dance with their operating lifetimes. Their operating life-
times vary depending on the usage environment and con-
ditions. The operating lifetimes below are just guides for
when using the camera at +35 °C {95 °F}.
• Lens unit, panning motor, tilting motor, flat cable for
tilting, Slip ring:
Approx. 3.7 million operations (Approx. 20000 hours)
About the automatic status detection function
When this product malfunctions due to exogenous noise,
etc. for 30 seconds or more, the product will automatically
reset and will return to normal state. When the product is
reset, initialization will be carried out as when the power of
the product is turned on. When the product repeatedly
resets, exogenous noise level around the product may be
high and that may cause malfunction. Contact your dealer
for instructions.
Motor operating sound
The operating sound may be louder depending on the
speed of panning/tilting operations. When you feel uneasy,
the operating sound can be diminished by reducing the
setting value of auto panning speed.
Lens and pan/tilt head
If a lens and pan/tilt head are not performed for a long
period of time, the grease coating inside these parts may
become sticky. That may obstruct the parts from moving.
To prevent this, move the lens or pan/tilt head periodically.
Or perform position refresh.
Position refresh
During the use for a long period of time, the preset posi-
tions may become inaccurate. When “Position refresh” is
set for the created schedule, the camera position will be
corrected periodically.
Refer to the Operating Instructions on the provided
CD-ROM for how to perform the settings.

tion label
