Notes

To attach a C-mount type lens, the C-mount adaptor (LO-999CMT) is required.

This camera uses a 1/2-inch CCD. So the lens should be used with this size of CCD. If used with a lens intended for 2/3-inch CCD, the angle of view will be different.

When connecting a heavy lens, make sure that it is supported properly.

When connecting heavy lens, make sure that it is not subject to shocks or vibration.
