Operating or storage location

Do not shoot an extremely bright object (an illumination, the sun, etc.). Also, 
avoid operating or storing the camera in the following locations, as these can be 
a cause of a malfunction.

Extremely hot or cold places (Operating temperature: 0 °C to +50 °C [32 °F to 
122 °F])
Exposed to direct sunlight for a long time, or close to heating equipment (e.g., 
near heaters)
Close to sources of strong magnetism
Close to sources of powerful electromagnetic radiation, such as radios or TV 
transmitters
Locations subject to strong vibration or shock
Humid or dusty locations
Locations exposed to rain
Locations under the influence of fluorescent light or reflection of a window
Under an unsteady light (the image will flicker.)

Transportation

When transporting the camera, repack it as originally packed at the factory or in 
materials of equal quality.

Use a blower to remove dust from the lens.
Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the external surfaces of the camera. Stubborn 
stains can be removed using a soft cloth dampened with a small quantity of 
detergent solution, then wipe dry.
Do not use volatile solvents such as alcohol, benzene or thinners as they may 
damage the surface finishes.

Note on laser beams

Laser beams may damage a CCD. You are cautioned that the surface of a CCD should 
not be exposed to laser beam radiation in an environment where a laser beam device is 
used.

Regular parts replacement

Some of the parts that make up this product (electrolytic condenser, for 
example) need replacing regularly depending on their life expectancies.

Consult the dealer from whom you bought it for details.

Phenomena Specific to CCD Image Sensors

The following phenomena that may appear in images are specific to CCD (Charge 
Coupled Device) image sensors. They do not indicate malfunctions.

White flecks

Although the CCD image sensors are produced with high-precision technologies, 
fine white flecks may be generated on the screen in rare cases, caused by cosmic 
rays, etc.
This is related to the principle of CCD image sensors and is not a malfunction.
The white flecks especially tend to be seen in the following cases:
- when operating at a high environmental temperature 
- when you have raised the gain (sensitivity)
- when using the slow shutter 

Vertical smear

When an extremely bright object, such as a strong spotlight or flashlight, is 
being shot, vertical tails may be produced on the screen, or the image may be 
distorted.

Monitor screen

Bright object (e.g. strong spotlight, 
strong reflected light, flashlight, the sun)

Vertical tails shown on the image

Aliasing

When fine patterns, stripes, or lines are shot, they may appear jagged or flicker.
