a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment
does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the
equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following
measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

Usage Precautions
Notes on cable configurations
The presence of lighting equipment and television receivers nearby may result in
video 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.
GO-5100MP-USB
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
When exporting this product, please follow the export regulations of your country
or region.

Polarizers are provided for individual pixels to capture polarization.
The numbers in the figure on the left indicate the
polarizer angles.
Four polarizer angles are available: 0º, 45º, 90º,
and 135º. Various polarization processing is
performed on the four pixels enclosed in the red
frame as a block.
Also, various functions considered necessary for machine vision are
provided.
The unit is equipped with pre-processing circuits for shading correction and
blemish correction in addition to external trigger, exposure setting, and
image level control.

・The diagonal of the camera’s CMOS image sensor is 11 mm, the size of
standard 2/3-inch lenses.
To prevent vignetting and to obtain the optimal resolution, use a lens
that will cover the 11 mm diagonal. Some lens manufacturers offer lenses with
an 11 mm format. If not, a 2/3-inch lens is recommended.
Caution
・The maximum performance of the camera may not be realized depending on the lens.
・Attaching a lens with a mount protrusion of 9 mm or longer may damage the lens or camera.
