Operating precautions
Shoot under the proper lighting conditions.
„
z
To produce pictures with eye-pleasing colors, shoot under the
proper lighting conditions.
The pictures may not appear with their proper colors when shooting
under fluorescent lights. Select the proper lighting as required.
To ensure a stable performance in the long
„
z
term
Using the unit for prolonged periods in locations where the
temperature and humidity levels are high will cause its parts to
deteriorate, resulting in a reduction of its service life.
(Recommended temperature: Max. 35 °C (95 °F))
Ensure that a cooling unit or heating unit will not blow any air
directly toward the installation location.
Do not point the camera at
„
z
strong lights.
When parts of the MOS sensor are
exposed to spotlights or other strong
lights, blooming (a phenomenon where
the edges of strong lights become
blurred) may occur.
What happens with high-brightness subjects
„
z
Flare may occur if an extremely bright light source is pointed at
the lens. In a case like this, change the angle or take some other
remedial action.
When using the automatic functions
„
z
• The initial settings have been set to auto for some of the items
of the scenes on the camera menus and other menus, making it
impossible for these items to be operated manually. To operate
them manually, switch from the auto settings to the manual
settings as required.
• In some situations, it may be hard to focus at the auto setting. In
cases like this, select the manual setting, and focus manually.
Zooming and focusing
„
z
When the focus is set manually, out-of-focusing may occur during
zooming.
After zooming, if necessary, either adjust the focus or set the focus
to auto.
When using the focus at the manual setting, proceed with zooming
after setting the focus position at the Tele end where the focusing
accuracy is higher. (However, if the distance from the unit to the
subject is less than 1.5 meters (4.92 ft), the subject may shift out of
focus at the Wide end.)
If zooming is performed to the Tele end after having adjusted the
focus at the Wide end, out-of-focusing may occur.
About the pan/tilt operation and lens operation

Color bars are used to adjust the color phase, and the widths and
positions of these bars may differ from other models.
Concerning the IP video frame rates
The IP video frame rate may be slower depending on the network
environment, performance of your personal computer or mobile
terminal, subject of the video, and access volume.
