CCFC Field Camera

21. Maintenance
The CCFC requires little maintenance. Keeping the camera lens window clean
is important for the longevity of the camera and photo and video quality.
21.1 Lithium Battery
The camera is equipped with a Lithium Thionyl Chloride battery. The battery
maintains the clock functionality for periods when power is not connected to
the camera. The expected battery life is 10 years. It is recommended that the
battery be replaced by a certified repair facility.
21.2 Window and Lens Cleaning
If the enclosure window or lens requires cleaning, it is very important that only
a proper lens cloth or lens tissue be used. The use of inappropriate materials to
clean the lens or window can permanently damage the surface and reduce the
clarity.
22. System Limitations
This section outlines some system limitations that exist in the CCFC camera.
22.1 High Resolution 5 Megapixel Photos
The capturing of 5 Megapixel (MP) pictures results in longer capture times
than other photo resolutions. When a 5 MP photo is captured, the continuous
video stream is paused, the photo sensor is reconfigured, and then the 5MP
photo is captured. This longer delay time would be noticeable when capturing
photos from the external trigger. 5 MP photos would take several seconds from
the external trigger signal being asserted. All other still photo captures are less
than 1 second.
22.2 Simultaneous Processes
The CCFC cannot capture 2 events simultaneously. For example, the CCFC
cannot capture a photo while video is being recorded. Also other processes
such as downloading files from the camera memory can add additional delays
to the capture process.
