Periodically images on the screen appear to be dis-
torted
When the camera is installed in a location where it is sub-
ject to small vibrations (for example, when it is installed
near devices that vibrate), images may appear distorted
and stretched lengthways. This phenomenon is a charac-
teristic of image pickup devices that use CMOS sensors
and is caused by the relationship between the periodic
movements of the camera and the timing that the image
sensor reads images. This is not a problem with the cam-
era. To reduce the possibility of this phenomenon occur-
ring, install the camera in a secure location.
What to do if “WARMING UP-PLEASE WAIT”
appears on the display.
This message indicates that the temperature inside the
camera has become extremely low.
In such a case, wait until the heater unit of the camera
raises the internal temperature (for around 2 hours or more
in low temperatures below –10 ºC {14 ºF}), and turn on
the power again.

to insert/remove an SD memory card.
• When using an unformatted SD memory card, format
it using this product. Recorded data on the SD mem-
ory card will be deleted when formatted. If an unfor-
matted SD memory card or an SD memory card for-
matted with other devices is used, this product may
not work properly or performance deterioration may
be caused. Refer to the Operating Instructions on the
provided CD-ROM for how to format an SD memory
card.
• When some SD memory cards are used with this
product, the product may not work properly or perfor-
mance deterioration may be caused. Use the SD
memory cards recommended in page 38.
Code label
The code labels (accessory) are required at inquiry for
trouble. Use caution not to lose these labels. It is recom-
mended to paste one of the labels onto the CD-ROM
case.
About the MOS image sensor
• When continuously shooting a bright light source such
as a spotlight, the color filter of the MOS image sen-
sor may become deteriorated and this may cause dis-
coloration. Even when changing the fixed shooting
direction after continuously shooting a spotlight for a
certain period, the discoloration may remain.
• When shooting fast-moving subjects or performing
panning/tilting operations, objects crossing the shoot-
ing area may look to be bending askew.

Consumable parts
The following are consumables: Replace them in accor-
dance with their operating lifetimes. Their operating life-
times vary depending on the usage environment and con-
ditions. The operating lifetimes below are just guides for
when using the camera at +35 °C {95 °F}.
• Lens unit, panning motor, tilting motor, flat cable for
tilting: Approx. 3.7 million operations (Approx. 20000
hours)
Cooling fan: Approx. 52000 hours
Slip ring: Approx. 3.7 million operations (Approx.
20000 hours)
About the automatic status detection function
When this product malfunctions due to exogenous noise,
etc. for 30 seconds or more, the product will automatically
reset and will return to normal state. When the product is
reset, initialization will be carried out as when the power of
the product is turned on. When the product repeatedly
resets, exogenous noise level around the product may be
high and that may cause malfunction. Contact your dealer
for instructions.
About the dehumidifying device
This product has dehumidifying device to keep the inside
at low moisture level, preventing condensation and quickly
dissipating dew if produced.
Dew may be produced depending on the conditions of
temperature, humidity, winds, and rain, and it may take
time to dehumidify.
Lens and pan/tilt head
If a lens and pan/tilt head are not performed for a long
period of time, the grease coating inside these parts may
become sticky. That may obstruct the parts from moving.
To prevent this, move the lens or pan/tilt head periodically.
Or perform position refresh periodically in the manner
described in “Position refresh”.
