Lenses
Maximum protrusion
The sensor, filter, or lens can be damaged if a lens exceeding maximum protrusion
is mounted to the camera. Use lenses with a maximum protrusion within camera
specifications.
Figure 2
shows schematics for maximum protrusion. For details, see
Lens mounts and maximum protrusion
For S-Mount lenses, read
Mounting and focusing S-Mount lenses
on page 120 to
avoid damage to the sensor, the electronics, and lens.
Mechanical components
Heat sinks
Heat sinks can be used to cool the camera for safety and to improve image quality.
Adhere to the instructions provided by the manufacturer of the heat sink.
Conductive media
Some conductive media for heat sinks contain corrosive substances that can
damage optical surfaces of the sensor, filter, and lens.
• Cover the optical path of the camera when you apply heat sink compound or
adhesive to prevent substances and fumes from damaging optical surfaces.
• Adhere to the instructions and safety notes provided by the manufacturer of
the conductive media.
• Ensure that the conductive media is correctly positioned: covering only the
components to be cooled.
