Notes on Use
Operating or storage location
Do not shoot an extremely bright object (an illumination, the sun, etc.). Also,
avoid operating or storing the camera in the following locations, as these
can be a cause of a malfunction.
Extremely hot or cold places (Operating temperature: –10 °C to
+50 °C [14 °F to 122 °F])
Exposed to direct sunlight for a long time, or close to heating equipment
(e.g., near heaters)
Close to sources of strong magnetism
Close to sources of powerful electromagnetic radiation, such as radios or
TV transmitters
Locations subject to strong vibration or shock
Humid or dusty locations
Locations exposed to rain
Locations under the influence of fluorescent light or reflection of a window
Under an unsteady light (the image will flicker.)
Ventilation
To prevent heat buildup, do not block air circulation around the camera.
Transportation
When transporting the camera, repack it as originally packed at the factory
or in materials of equal quality.
Cleaning
Use a blower to remove dust from the lens.
Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the external surfaces of the camera.
Stubborn stains can be removed using a soft cloth dampened with a
small quantity of detergent solution, then wipe dry.
Do not use volatile solvents such as alcohol, benzene or thinners as they
may damage the surface finishes.
Note on laser beams
Laser beams may damage a CCD. You are cautioned that the surface of a
CCD should not be exposed to laser beam radiation in an environment where
a laser beam device is used.
Typical CCD Phenomena
The following phenomena may appear on the monitor screen while you are
using a CCD color video camera. These phenomena stem from the high
sensitivity of the CCD image sensors, and do not indicate a fault within the
camera.
Vertical smear
A “smear” may appear to extend vertically from very bright subjects, as
shown below.
This phenomenon is common to CCD imaging elements using an interline
transfer system, and is caused when electric charge induced by infrared
radiation deep within the photo sensor is transferred to the resistors.
Aliasing
When shooting fine stripes, straight lines or similar patterns, the lines may
become slightly jagged.
Blemishes
A CCD image sensor consists of an array of individual picture elements
(pixels). A malfunctioning sensor element will show up
as a single pixel blemish in the image. This is generally not a problem.
White speckles
When you shoot a poorly illuminated object at a high temperature, small
white dots may appear all over the entire screen image.

Very bright subject (such as an
electric lamp, fluorescent lamp,
sunlight, or strong reflected light)
