Phenomena Specific to
Image Sensors
Note
The following phenomena that may occur in images are
specific to image sensors.
They do not indicate a malfunction.
White flecks
Although the 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 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 shutter
Aliasing
When fine patterns, stripes, or lines are shot, they may
appear jagged or flicker.
