Introduction
Camera cleaning
Identifying debris
Debris on the image sensor or optical components appears as a darkened area
or smudge on a camera image. Do not confuse this with a pixel defect which
appears as a distinct point.
Locating debris
First determine whether the debris is on the sensor glass, IR filter (if used), or
lens. The farther away the debris is from the sensor, the blurrier the debris
appears on a camera image.
Caution
Cleaning.
This product can be damaged by some volatile cleaning agents.
Avoid cleaning the image sensor unless absolutely necessary.
Please see instructions on optics cleaning in this document.
Caution
Do not exceed environmental specifications.
See environmental specifications limits in the Specifications
section of this document. Special care must be taken to
maintain a reasonable operating temperature. If the camera
is operated in temperatures higher than the specified range,
the camera should be mounted on a heat sink.
