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 [22 °F to 122 °F])

Areas 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 shockHumid or dusty locationsLocations exposed to rainLocations exposed to direct fluorescent light or reflected light from a windowLocations exposed to inconsistent, flickering light (the image will flicker.)VentilationTo 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.

CleaningUse 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.

Regular parts replacement

Some of the parts that make up this product (electrolytic condenser, for example) need replacing regularly depending on their life expectancies. The lives of parts differ according to the environment or condition in which this product is used and the length of time it is used, so we recommend regular checks.

Consult the dealer from whom you bought it for details.
Phenomena Specific to CCD Image Sensors

The following phenomena that may appear in images are specific to CCD (Charge Coupled Device) image sensors. They do not indicate malfunctions.

White flecks

Although the CCD 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 CCD 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 shutterVertical smear

When an extremely bright object, such as a strong spotlight or flashlight, is being shot, vertical tails may be produced on the screen, or the image may be distorted.
