Usage Precautions - IAI GO-5100M-USB User Manual

Notes on cable configurations
The presence of lighting equipment and television receivers nearby may result in video and audio
noise. In such cases, change the cable configurations or placement.
Notes on attaching the lens
Avoiding dust particles
When attaching the lens to the camera, stray dust and other particles may adhere to the sensor
surface and rear surface of the lens. Be careful of the following when attaching the lens.
• Work in a clean environment.
• Do not remove the caps from the camera and lens until immediately before you attach the lens.
• To prevent dust from adhering to surfaces, point the camera and lens downward and do not allow the
lens surface to come into contact with your hands or other objects.
• Always use a blower brush to remove any dust that adheres.
Never use your hands or cloth, blow with your mouth, or use other methods to remove dust.
Phenomena specific to CMOS image sensors
The following phenomena are known to occur on cameras equipped with CMOS image sensors. These
do not indicate malfunctions.
Aliasing
•
When shooting straight lines, stripes, and similar patterns, vertical aliasing (zigzag distortion) may
appear on the monitor.
Blooming
•
When strong light enters the camera, some pixels on the CMOS image sensor may receive much
more light than they are designed to hold, causing the accumulated signal charge to overflow into
surrounding pixels.
This "blooming" phenomenon can be seen in the image, but does not affect the operation of the
camera.
Fixed pattern noise
•
When shooting dark objects in high-temperature conditions, fixed pattern noise may occur
throughout the entire video monitor screen.
Defective pixels
•
Defective pixels (white and black pixels) of the CMOS image sensor are minimized at the factory
according to shipping standards. However, as this phenomenon can be affected by the ambient
temperature, camera settings (e.g., high sensitivity and long exposure), and other factors, be sure to
operate within the camera's specified operating environment.
Notes on exportation
