Periodically images on the screen appear
to be distorted
When the camera is installed in a location
where it is subject to small vibrations (for exam-
ple, when it is installed near devices that
vibrate), images may appear distorted and
stretched lengthways. This phenomenon is a
characteristic of image pickup devices that use
MOS sensors and is caused by the relationship
between the periodic movements of the cam-
era and the timing that the image sensor reads
images. This is not a problem with the camera.
To reduce the possibility of this phenomenon
occurring, install the camera in a secure location.
About the dehumidifying device
• This product has dehumidifying device to
keep the inside at low moisture level.

camera raises the internal temperature (for
around 2 hours or more in low temperatures
below –30 ºC {–22 ºF}), and turn the power off
and then back on again.
About the MOS image sensor
• When continuously shooting a bright light
source such as a spotlight, the color filter
of the MOS 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
objects crossing the shooting area may
look to be bending askew.
