Warning:
Do not fill the plastic chamber in the G2 cameras revision 1 and 2 with hot
silica gel. Let it cool down first, preferably in some hermetically closed
container. It is also possible to put the fresh silica gel bag into the container to
dry it first.
The silica gel chamber is separated from the CCD chamber itself with a very
faint stainless steel grid. It is possible to use silica gel with very small grains.
Changing Filters
It is necessary to open the camera head to change filters or the whole filter
wheel. Opening the head is quite simple – it is just necessary to unscrew she six
bolts, which holds the camera head together.
Opening the camera head of G2 cameras revision 3
The blade shutter rotates 180° between individual snapshots. Camera cover
could be opened only when the shutter is closed. If for instance the camera is
unplugged from power adapter while exposing, the shutter remains open.
