Phenomena inherent to CCD imaging device The following phenomena are inherent to a charge coupled device imaging element and do not indicate malfunction. 1) Smear and blooming Vertical bands are visible when a strong light enters the scene. to avoid strong direct or reflected light. Adjust the camera aiming direction carefully 2) Fixed pattern noise High ambient temperature can cause fixed pattern noise to appear throughout the scene.
6. Cleaning ・ Use a blower or a lens brush to remove dusts on the lens or the optical filter. ・ Wipe dirts on the case off with dry soft cloth. If dirks are hardened, wipe them off with cloth moistened with neutral detergent liquid; wipe the cover with dry cloth. ・ Do not use benzene, thinner, alcohol, liquid cleaner or spray-type cleaner. ・ In event dust or other debris is lodged between the CCD and optical filter, consult dealer for cleaning by an optical technician.
