Introduction

EMVA 1288

With regard to signal to noise ratio in this manual, specifications measured by EMVA 1288 are used
together with specifications by a traditional measurement method.

EMVA 1288 is a more complete measurement that considers multiple noise sources, including random
noise, pattern noise, and shading. Additionally, EMVA 1288 incorporates temporal variances in pixel
output by capturing 100 frames of data and computing the RMS variations over the captured frames.
Because of the comprehensive nature of the noise analysis and the additional consideration for RMS
variances over time, EMVA 1288 SNR measurements are inherently lower than the traditional SNR
measurements given by manufacturers. However, the comprehensive nature combined with rigid

test parameters, means that all manufacturers’ are measuring their products equally and EMVA 1288
tested parameters can be compared among different manufacturers’ products.

In order to learn more about EMVA 1288, please visit http://www.emva.org

Interface

The SP-5000M-CXP4 and SP-5000C-CXP4 employ CoaXPress as an interface system. In order to
connect the camera to a PC, it requires the use of a Frame Graber board and the appropriate coaxial
cable(s). The maximum video transfer rate per coaxial cable is 6.25 Gbps. In addition to video
information, power and control signals can be transferred to the camera over this interface. For
detailed specifications, please refer to “JIIA-NTF-001-2010” published by Japan Industrial Imaging
Association, http://www.jiia.org.

Computer used for SP-5000 series

In order to get proper performance from this camera, it is necessary to use a PC equipped with a
PCIe 2.0 slot with a size and capacity of 16 lanes or higher (x16 or x32).

Frame grabber boards used with SP-5000 series

As the SP-5000M-CXP4 and SP-5000C-CXP4 employ CoaXPress as an interface system, a CoaXPress­compliant frame grabber board is required. Both cameras have four CoaXPress interface
connectors and it is recommended that a frame grabber board with at least four interface
connectors be used in order to maximize camera performance.

Cables used with SP-5000 series

For the CoaXPress interface, coaxial cables are used. In the SP-5000M-CXP4 and SP-5000C-CXP4,
they use 75Ω 1.0/2.3 DIN receptacles (Amphenol ACX1785-ND or equivalent). The coaxial cable used
to connect the camera must have a 75Ω 1.0/2.3 DIN-type plug at the camera side. An ordinary BNC
cable cannot be used.

1. General

The SP-5000M-CXP4 and SP-5000C-CXP4 are members of JAI’s Spark Series. They are high
performance cameras with high resolution and a fast frame rate suitable for high speed machine
vision applications. The SP-5000M-CXP4 is a monochrome progressive scan CMOS camera and the SP­5000C-CXP4 is the equivalent Bayer mosaic progressive scan CMOS camera. Both are equipped with
a CMOS sensor offering a 1-inch optical format, a resolution of 5.24 million pixels, and a 5:4 aspect
ratio. They provide a maximum of 253.8 frames per second for continuous scanning with 2560 x
2048 full pixel resolution for both monochrome and raw Bayer output.

8-bit, 10-bit or 12-bit output can be selected for both monochrome and raw Bayer formats. The SP­5000C-CXP4 is also capable of performing in-camera color interpolation at reduced frame rates.
The new cameras feature a CoaXPress interface which uses coax cable with the capability of
supplying power through the cable. The SP-5000M-CXP4 and SP-5000C-CXP4 use a quad coaxial cable
interface. A full pixel readout, partial scan readout, or binning mode (monochrome only) can be
selected depending on the application.

The SP-5000M-CXP4 and SP-5000C-CXP4 have various comprehensive functions needed for
automated optical inspection applications, such as solid state device inspection or material surface
inspection. They incorporate video processing functions such as a look-up table, shading
compensation and blemish compensation in addition to fundamental functions such as trigger,
exposure setting, and video level control.

As a common Spark Series feature, a new connector for lens control is employed. SP-5000M-CXP4
and SP-5000C-CXP4 support P-iris and motor-driven lenses as standard lens control capabilities.
Factory options are available to configure this connector to support DC iris systems, as well as
provide a video iris output signal, or to provide additional TTL IN and OUT lines.

5. Input and output

5.1 CoaXPress interface

5.1.1 CoaXPress interface standard

The SP-5000M-CXP4 and SP-5000C-CXP4 use CoaXPress as their interface. CoaXPress is a PLUG­AND-PLAY interface and connects the camera and the frame grabber board by coaxial cable(s). Its
maximum transfer rate is 6.25 Gbps per one coaxial cable. Additionally, CoaXPress interface
supports power supplied through the coaxial cable as well as communication signals. In the
CoaXPress interface, multiple coaxial cables can be used in order to achieve a faster transfer rate
or a reduced transfer rate can be used to extend the cable length.
In the SP-5000M-CXP4 and SP-5000C-CXP4, a 4 coaxial cable system is used.

Fig.3 CoaXPress interface

The distance between camera and frame grabber board depends on the bit rate of the video and
the cable used. Among the unique features of CoaXPress is its ability to supply DC power and provide
trigger timing accuracy.
The maximum power supply per one cable is 13W with DC+24V voltage. If the system uses 2 cables,
it will be 26W. The accuracy of the trigger is ±2 ns at 3.125 Gbps.
The CoaXPress compliance labeling is assigned to the following five cable types and the maximum
bit rate and transmission length is indicated in the table below.

5.4 Pulse Generator

The SP-5000-CXP4 has a frequency divider using the pixel clock as the basic clock and four pulse
generators. In each Pulse Generator, various Clear settings are connected to GPIO.
The following shows Pulse Generator default settings.

SP-5000M-CXP4 / SP-5000C-CXP4

- 20 -

Table - 11 Pulse Generator default settings

5.4.1 Clock Pre-scaler

Clock pre-scaler (Divide Value) can set the dividing value of the frequency divider (12-bit

length) and the pixel clock is used for this. Four built-in pulse generators work by the same
clock. In the SP-5000-CXP4, the clock is set at 86.4 MHz.

5.4.2 Pulse Generator Selector

This is where you select one of the 4 pulse generators in order to set or modify its parameters.

5.4.3 Pulse Generator Length

Set the counter up value (number of clocks, refer to Table 14) for the selected pulse

generator.
If Repeat Count value is “0”, and if Pulse Generator Clear signal is not input, the pulse
generator generates the pulse repeatedly until reaching this counter up value.

5.4.4 Pulse Generator Start Point

Set the active output start count value for the selected pulse generator.
However, please note that a maximum 1 clock jitter for the clock which is divided in the clock

pre-scaler can occur.

5.4.5 Pulse Generator End Point

Set the active output ending count value for the selected pulse generator.

5.4.6 Pulse Generator Repeat Count

Set the repeating number of the pulse for the selected pulse generator. After Trigger Clear
signal is input, the pulse generator starts the count set in Repeat Count. Accordingly, an active
pulse which has a start point and end point can be output repeatedly.
However, if Repeat Count is set to “0”, it works as a free-running counter.

5.4.7 Pulse Generator Clear Activation

Set the clear conditions of clear count pulse for the selected pulse generator.

5.4.8 Pulse Generator Clear Sync Mode

Set the count clear method for the selected pulse generator.
In the case of Async Mode, if the clear signal is input during the length setting value, the
counter will stop counting according to the clear signal input.
In the case of Sync Mode, if the clear signal is input during the length setting value, the
counter will continue to count until the end of the length setting value and then clear the count.

Both modes clear the repeat count when the counter is cleared.

6.3.3 ROI (Region Of Interest) setting

In the SP-5000-CXP4, a subset of the image can be output by setting Width, Height, Offset-X, and Offset­Y. If the height is decreased, the number of lines read out is decreased and as the result, the frame rate
is increased. However, in the horizontal direction, the horizontal frequency is not changed if the width
is decreased. In the SP-5000-CXP4, the minimum width is “64” and minimum height is “8”.

7. Operating modes

7.1. Acquisition control (change the frame rate)

7.1.1 Acquisition frame rate

With Trigger OFF (free-running mode – see section 7.2.1), the default frame rate of the camera is
based on the specified ROI. The smaller the ROI, the faster the default frame rate. However, it is
possible to specify a free-running frame rate (i.e., no trigger needed) that is slower than the default
rate. This can be useful when a longer exposure time is needed for a specific ROI.

Modification of the frame rate is done by entering a value in the AcquisitionFrameRate control
corresponding to the frequency to be allocated to each frame period. Allowed values range from
25691 Hz to 0.125 Hz for SP-5000M-CXP4, however if the frequency entered is faster than the time
required for the default frame rate, the setting is ignored and the default frame rate is used. For
example, the minimum frame period for the smallest possible ROI (64H x 8V) requires 25691 Hz, so
any entry more than 25691 will always be ignored.

The setting range in Acquisition Frame Rate is:

Shortest

to

Longest

Inverse number of time

required to drive all pixels

in the area set by ROI

command or

inverse number of time

required to transmit one

frame data

to

0.125 Hz = 8 seconds

For the above setting, Acquisition Frame Rate (unit: fps or Hz) is used.

Acquisition Frame Rate: 25691 Hz to 0.125 Hz

How to set:

ROI should be set first.

The number shown in Acquisition Frame Rate will correspond to the maximum frame
frequency for the specified ROI.
The value can be decreased up to 0.125 Hz.
If ROI is changed from a smaller size to a larger size, the default frame frequency of the
ROI is automatically recalculated inside the camera and changed to the frame rate of
the new ROI.

7.1.2 Calculation of frame rate

The frame rate for a specific ROI is calculated using the following formula.

7.2.1 Exposure Mode

The exposure mode can be selected from the following three ways.
Table35. Exposure mode

Exposure Mode setting

Exposure operation

OFF

No exposure control (free-running operation)

Timed

Exposure operation at the value set in Exposure Time. Setting value is usec unit.

・If Trigger Mode setting is OFF, the camera is in free-running operation.
・If Trigger Mode setting is ON, the exposure operation depends on the setting of

Trigger Option.

Trigger Width

The exposure is controlled by the pulse width of the external trigger.
・Trigger Mode is forced to ON.

For trigger operation, Exposure Mode must be set to something other than OFF and Trigger Mode of
Frame Start must be ON.
If Exposure Mode is set at Timed, the exposure operation can be selected as follows by setting
Trigger Option
Table36. Trigger option

Trigger Option setting

Exposure operation

OFF

Timed (EPS) mode

RCT

Reset Continuous Trigger mode. The exposure operation is the same as free-running
operation but it is re-set at the trigger input timing. The video signal is output only if
the trigger signal is input.
This mode is useful, if automatic exposure is needed when the trigger mode is used.

PIV

PIV (Particle Image Velocimetry) mode. A strobe light is used as the light source. One
trigger pulse generates two image acquisitions. As for the exposure time, 1st frame is
the exposure time and 2nd frame is the value when the exposure mode is OFF (depends
on the frame rate).

The effect of the combination of Exposure Mode, Trigger Option and Trigger Mode is as follows.

7.7. RCT mode

Until the trigger is input, the camera operates continuously and the video signal for the auto-iris
lens is output provided the AUX connector has been ordered with a Type 2 configuration option.
At this moment, the video signal, FVAL and LVAL are output but DVAL is not output. When the trigger
is input, the fast dump is activated to read out the electronic charge very quickly, after which the
accumulation and the readout are performed. When the accumulated signal against the trigger is
read out, FVAL, LVAL and DVAL are output too.

Primary settings to use this mode

Exposure Mode: Timed
Trigger Mode: ON
Trigger Option: RCT

In this mode, the setting of Trigger Overlap is invalid.

7.8. PIV (Particle Image Velocimetry)

The Particle Image Velocimetry mode can be used in applications where 2 images need to be
taken with a very short time interval. It can only be used with strobe flash as illumination.
The first accumulation time is 10 sec to 2 sec. Then, the second exposure will be taken.
The accumulation is LVAL asynchronous. The first strobe is activated during the first exposure
duration and the second strobe is pulsed while the first frame is being read out. In this way, two
strobe flashes generate two video outputs.

Primary Settings

Exposure Mode: Timed
Tr igger Mode: ON
Trigger Option: PIV

In this mode, the setting of Trigger Overlap is invalid.

7.10 Multi ROI function

This function divides one frame image into a maximum of 8 images vertically and reads out all areas in
one frame. In this function, width is the same for all 8 images. The multi ROI function is enabled if [Video
Sending Mode] is set to “Multi ROI”.

Table - 18 Multi ROI Index table default values

7.10.1 Multi ROI setting parameters

(1) Multi ROI Index Max：Setting value = 1 ～ 8

Maximum 8 ROI settings are possible in a frame. Set Index 1 through 8 in Multi ROI Index
table as an application requires.

(2) Multi ROI Width
The setting range and Step number are the same as the normal ROI setting in which
[Width] plus [Offset X] should be less than or equal to [Width Max]. In Multi ROI operation,

the maximum offset value in Index 1 to Index 8 is the object in this calculation.

(3) Multi ROI Next Index:
Set the next index after the setting index is executed. The next setting can be set as

required.

(4) Multi ROI Offset X：
Offset X can be set for each ROI area of Multi ROI Index 1 to 8.

The restriction for setting Step and other factors are the same as the normal ROI setting.
As described before, in Multi ROI operation, Multi ROI Width is a common width setting for
Multi ROI Index 1 to 8.

(5) Multi ROI Height：
Height can be set for each ROI area of Multi ROI Index 1 to 8.
The restriction for setting Step and other factors are the same as the normal ROI setting.

(6) Multi ROI Offset Y：
Offset Y can be set for each ROI area of Multi ROI Index 1 to 8.
The restriction for setting Step and other factors is the same as the normal ROI setting.
The sum of Multi ROI Height values of Index 1 to 8 should be less than Height Max.

Note: Each ROI setting cannot be overlapped. The next offset Y should be greater than the sum of the
height and offset Y of the previous ROI.

Analog Control

8.2 Gain control

In the SP-5000-CXP4, the gain control uses Analog Base Gain and Digital Gain.
Analog Base Gain can be set at 0dB, +6dB or +12dB. The digital gain is used for the master gain setting.

For setting the gain,

1. Set analog gain (Select from 0dB, +6dB and +12dB)

2. Set digital gain
The master gain (DigitalAll) for both monochrome and color can be set x1(0dB)

to x16(+24dB) against the analog base gain. The resolution for gain setting is

0.01%/step which is 0.05dB to 0.08dB, depending on the setting value.

In the SP-5000C-CXP4, blue and red gain can be set from x0.45 to x5.62 against
the master gain setting and its resolution is x0.01%/step.

3. In the SP-5000C-CXP4, Analog Gain can be applied to R, G and B channel
independently in order to cover wider range of color temperatures.

Note1: If the gain up function is used, it is recommended to use the analog base gain as

the master gain setting. For instance, if +12dB gain up is required, the analog base
gain is set at +12dB and no digital gain is added. This is because the signal-to-noise
performance is better with analog gain. However, the AGC function works only in
digital gain.
Additionally, the analog base gain is effective in order to minimize gaps in the
histogram at higher gain settings. Please note that the analog base gain has less
accuracy due to its variability.

SP-5000M-CXP4 / SP-5000C-CXP4

- 48 -

Note2: If Analog Base Gain is set at 0dB and Digital Gain is used at a high gain setting, the

video level may be unstable and may fluctuate approx. 5%. In this case, it is
suggested to set the analog base gain at +6dB or +12dB.

The above drawing shows the relationship between gain setting value (command), gain
amplitude, and dB indication. For example, the gain amplitude “x 0.44” equals -7dB.

8.3. LUT

This function can be used to convert the input to the desired output characteristics.
The Look-Up Table (LUT) has 256 points for setup. The output level can be created by multiplying
the gain data by the input level.

8.3.2 LUT Control

This will convert the linear characteristic of the input and output relations to required
characteristics. User can set the required characteristics by setting 256 setting points.

8.3.3 LUT Selector

Select which data can be used for LUT data loading or writing.
Mono: Mono
Color: Red/Green/Blue

8.3.4 LUT Index

This represents the “starting” or “input” pixel value to be modified by the Lookup Table. The
SP-5000-CXP4 has a 256-point Lookup Table, meaning the index points are treated like an 8-bit
image with 0 representing a full black pixel and 255 representing a full white pixel. The index
points are automatically scaled to fit the internal pixel format of the camera. This is common
for all output configurations.

SP-5000M-CXP4 / SP-5000C-CXP4

8.3.3 LUT value

This is the “adjusted” or “output” pixel value for a given LUT index. It has a range of 0 to 4095 (12­bit) and is automatically scaled to the bit depth of the current operating mode (8-bit or 10-bit).
Note: linear interpolation is used if needed to calculate LUT values between index points. In the
color mode, the LUT function works the same regardless of the color of the pixel.

8.4.1 Linear or Dark Compression

SP-5000-CXP4 has a function which improves the signal to noise ratio in the dark portion of the video.
The default setting is Linear but users can select Dark Compression if it is appropriate for their
application.

Dark Compression 0= Dark compression
1= Linear (Default setting)

Function

Linear

No compression, Gamma=1.0

Dark Compression

Compress the signal in the dark portion of the video. The S/N is
improved but the linearity might be deteriorated.

8.5. Shading Correction

This function compensates for shading (non-uniformity) caused by the lens or the light source used.
This compensation can be performed even if shading issues are not symmetrical in horizontal and/or
vertical directions.

There are two methods of correction.

Flat shading correction:

The method to compensate the shading is to measure the highest luminance level in the
image and use that data as the reference. Luminance levels of other areas are then
adjusted so that the level of the entire area is equal. Compensation is performed using a
block grid of 20 blocks (H) x 16 blocks (V). Each block contains 128 x 128 pixels. The
complementary process is applied to produce the compensation data with less error.

Fig. 31 Flat shading correction concept drawing

Color shading correction (For SP-5000C-CXP4 only):

In this case, R channel and B channel are adjusted to match with G channel characteristics.
The block grid for compensation is 20 blocks (H) x 16 blocks (V). Each block contains 128 x
128 pixels and the complementary process is applied to produce the compensation data with
less error.

8.6. Blemish compensation

The SP-5000M-CXP4 and SP-5000C-CXP4 have a blemish compensation circuit. This function
compensates blemishes on the CMOS sensor (typically pixels with extremely high response or
extremely low response). This applies to both monochrome and color versions. Pixels that fulfill the
blemish criteria can be compensated by adjacent pixels in both columns and, in the case of the SP­5000C-CXP4, the defective pixels can be compensated by the same Bayer color pixels in both
adjacent columns. The number of pixels that can be compensated is up to 512 pixels.

Fig. 33 Blemish compensation

If several consecutive pixels are defective in the horizontal direction, 3 pixels for monochrome and
2 same color pixels for color can be compensated.

8.7. Bayer color interpolation (Only for SP-5000C-CXP4)

This function is available only for SP-5000C-CXP4. The SP-5000C-CXP4 uses a CMOS sensor with an
RGB Bayer pattern. If the in-camera Bayer color interpolation is not used, the following RAW data
can be output.

pixel and output RGB color data as the result. Color interpolation compensates for the lack of color
information by using information from adjacent pixels. The following is the concept drawing for the
color interpolation process.

8.8.1 About P-Iris

New Spark Series SP-5000M-CXP4 and SP-5000C-CXP4 come equipped with P-Iris control as part of
the standard lens control function. The P-Iris system is a newly developed lens control method
designed to control the iris more precisely. Especially for video cameras in surveillance applications
utilizing megapixel CCD or CMOS imagers, it becomes a very important factor to control an iris in
order to achieve the maximum camera performance. In surveillance applications, depending on
shooting conditions, resolution and depth of field are important factors. The iris is deeply related
with these factors. If the iris diaphragm is smaller, but not too small, resolution gets better and the
depth of field is also deeper. The P-Iris system controls the iris diaphragm precisely and maintains
the best image with the highest resolution and depth of field. P-Iris can also combine with gain and
electronic shutter to keep the appropriate iris position under changing lighting conditions (ALC
function).

8.8.2 Setting for P-Iris lens being used

P-Iris lenses use an absolute setting value control system and therefore, if the following
parameters are input, precise iris position control is possible.

8.8.2.1 P-Iris lens select

Select the lens used from the P-Iris select list. At this moment, there are no 1-inch P-Iris lenses
available in the list. When P-Iris Lens Select is opened, the following lenses are indicated but they
are 2/3 inch format. If they are used, the corners of the image may be vignetted.

8.8.2.3 Position

The iris position can be set between 0 to Step Max. 0 means to open the iris and Step Max

means to close the iris.
In the following conditions, the camera initializes P-Iris control and acquires iris position.

2) When the lens is selected in P-Iris Lens Select

3) If the lens is changed in P-Iris Lens Select

8.8.2.4 P-Iris Auto min. / P-Iris Auto max.

This function can set the control range when the iris is operated automatically. Auto max. sets the
limit when the iris goes open and Auto min. sets the limit when the iris goes closed. Auto max. can
be set to fully open but Auto min. is stopped at F5.6 as lens performance typically degrades if the
iris is closed beyond this point.

8.8.2.5 Auto iris Lens Control Signal output

If an auto iris lens is used, this parameter should be ON. This is the same for all available lenses.

8.8.3 Motorized lenses

The SP-5000C-CXP4 and SP-5000C-CXP4 can use the 3-axis motorized lens control for zoom, focus
and iris. The following functions are available via the motorized lens commands.

8.7.3.1 Iris

8.9 ALC

In the SP-5000M-CXP4 and SP-5000C-CXP4, auto gain, auto shutter and auto iris functions can be
combined to provide a wide ranging automatic exposure control from dark to bright or vice versa.
The functions are applied in the sequence shown below and if one function is disabled, the linkage
between the other two is maintained.

In order to make the ALC function effective, set the Auto Iris Lens Control Signal Output to “ON”.
The auto iris function (AIC) works together with AGC and Exposure Auto (ASC).

If the lighting condition is changed from bright to dark AIC ― ASC ― AGC
If the lighting condition is changed from dark to bright AGC ― ASC ― AIC

8.10 HDR (High Dynamic Range) (SP-5000M-CXP4 only)

HDR sensing mode can be set when HDR Mode is set to ON while Exposure Mode is Timed.
The parameters to configure dynamic range are HDR_SLOPE Level 1, Level 2, Level 3 and
Level 4.
The user can select any one of those parameters as required for their application.
In this mode, the timed exposure is used as the reference and the value selected in
HDR_SLOPE will compensate to get an appropriate dynamic range by changing the exposure
time.

Notes:

1. If the exposure mode is OFF and the HDR mode is set to ON, the exposure mode is

automatically changed to Timed.

2. If horizontal binning and/or vertical binning are set to ON, the HDR mode cannot be set.

In this case, the HDR mode must be set first before H-Binning and/or V-Binning are set.

3. In this mode, exposure overlapped behavior is not available and the frame rate is slower than

the normal operation.

4. The frame rate should be set more than “The width of FVAL + the exposure time”.

The width of FVAL = (line number x 165) / Sensor clock (86.4 x 106 Hz).
The possible frame rate is more than “The width of FVAL + the exposure time + 100 μs)

Appendix

1. Precautions

Personnel not trained in dealing with similar electronic devices should not service this camera.
The camera contains components sensitive to electrostatic discharge. The handling of these devices
should follow the requirements of electrostatic sensitive components.
Do not attempt to disassemble this camera.
Do not expose this camera to rain or moisture.
Do not face this camera towards the sun, extreme bright light or light reflecting objects.
When this camera is not in use, put the supplied lens cap on the lens mount.
Handle this camera with the maximum care.
Operate this camera only from the type of power source indicated on the camera.
Power off the camera during any modification such as changes of jumper and switch setting.

2. Typical Sensor Characteristics

The following effects may be observed on the video monitor screen. They do not indicate any fault
of the camera, but are associated with typical sensor characteristics.

V. Aliasing

When the CMOS camera captures stripes, straight lines or similar sharp patterns, jagged edges
may appear on the monitor.

Blemishes

All cameras are shipped without visible image sensor blemishes.
Over time some pixel defects can occur. This does not have a practical effect on the operation
of the camera. These will show up as white spots (blemishes).
Exposure to cosmic rays can cause blemishes to appear on the image sensor. Please take care
to avoid exposure to cosmic rays during transportation and storage. It is recommended using
sea shipment instead of air flight in order to limit the influence of cosmic rays on the camera.
Pixel defects/blemishes also may emerge due to prolonged operation at elevated ambient
temperature, due to high gain setting, or during long time exposure. It is therefore
recommended to operate the camera within its specifications.

Patterned Noise

When the sensor captures a dark object at high temperature or is used for long time integration,
fixed pattern noise may appear on the video monitor screen.

3. Caution when mounting a lens on the camera

When mounting a lens on the camera dust particles in the air may settle on the surface of the lens
or the image sensor of the camera. It is therefore important to keep the protective caps on the lens
and on the camera until the lens is mounted. Point the lens mount of the camera downward to
prevent dust particles from landing on the optical surfaces of the camera. This work should be done
in a dust free environment. Do not touch any of the optical surfaces of the camera or the lens.

4. Caution when mounting the camera

When you mount the camera on your system, please make sure to use screws of the recommended
length described in the following drawing. Longer screws may cause serious damage to the PCB
inside the camera.
