ESD warnings
Image sensors are easily damaged by static discharge (ESD).
• Please use anti-static gloves, clothes and materials.
Also use conductive shoes.
• Install a conductive mat on the floor and/or working
table to prevent the generation of static electricity.
When changing camera lenses please follow these procedures:
•
Simply hold the camera with the C-mount opening towards the floor,
when removing the dust-cap or changing the lens:
•
Thread the lens onto the camera while holding the camera in this posi-
tion. This will minimize the possibility of any contaminants falling on
the glass surface.
•
Always store cameras and lenses with dust-caps installed.
