the surface of image sensors should not be exposed to laser beam
radiation in an environment where a laser beam device is used.
Phenomena Specific to Image Sensors
The following phenomena that may occur in images are specific to
image sensors. They do not indicate a malfunction.
White flecks
Although the 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 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
Aliasing
When fine patterns, stripes, or lines are shot, they may appear jagged
or flicker.
