PREVENTION OF BLOOMING AND SMEAR
When the camera is aimed towards spotlights or other bright lights or light reflecting objects, smear or blooming may appear.
Therefore the camera should be operated carefully in the vicinity of extremely bright objects to avoid smear or blooming.
If the camera is aimed at the sun or very bright light, such as laser beam, for a long period of time, the CCD image sensor may be burned in and blemishes (white or black dots) appears on the monitor
