Characteristics of CCD Sensors

The following effects may appear in the image. They
are characteristic of cameras using CCDs (charge-
coupled devices), and do not indicate a malfunction.

Vertical smear

When shooting a very bright object, such as a light, the
highlight tends to produce vertical tails. This effect is
much reduced in this camera.

White flecks

If the camera is operated at a high temperature, white
flecks may appear in the image.
