■About the Camera Cleaning Function

Prolonged use can lead to noise on the monitor and divergence of preset positions.

If such conditions persist even after you perform cam- era cleaning (page 41), use the special setup menu to execute the "REFRESH" operation (page 50).

If you are using a matrix switcher with a camera clean- ing function (WJ-SX550C), configure the matrix switch- er Auto Cleaning settings so cleaning is performed once a day.

■Downloading (saving) or uploading (recovering) camera preset data

When downloading or uploading camera preset data, aim the camera at static objects such as a wall without moving the camera as much as possible.
