Tips
on
outdoor shooting
When,
while
shooting
a
subject
outdoors under clear skies or
for
other reason, the
brightness
level of
the subject
itself
is
extremely high,
it
is
recommended
that
the
light
quantity
be adjusted
using the
electronic shutter or
that
an
ND
filter
be added
in
front of
the
lens.
This
unit
does
not contain
an
ND
filter.
Obtain
an
ND
filter
(62
mm
diameter) from a
camera
store,
and
attach
it
in
front of
the
lens.

CCD
cameras

following
phenomena

Flicker
Flickering
may
occur
if
fluorescent
lights
are
used
for
the
lighting.
This
is
the
case
in
areas
where
the
commercial power
line
frequency
is
50 Hz
or
when
a high shutter
speed
is
used.
To
prevent
flicker,
set the
electronic
shutter
speed
to
1/100
where
the
commercial
power
line
frequency
is
50
Hz and
to
OFF
where
it
is
60
Hz.
Moire
Shooting a subject with
striped
patterns
may
give
rise to
the formation
of
Moire
patterns.
White streaks
White
streaks
may
appear
at
high temperatures.
They
may
be
more conspicuous
when
the gain
has
been
increased.
Picture
roughness
Roughness
in
a
specific pattern
may
appear
all
