For the details of software installation, please refer to the “Getting Started Guide” supplied on the JAI SDK download page.

Important: Please note that if you use LAG function, refer to the chapter 5.1.1.5 first. It explains the order to install NIC driver and SDK.

3 About GigE Vision Ver2.0

SP-5000-GE2 complies with the latest GigE Vision version 2.0. GigE Vision is the new standard interface using Gigabit Ethernet for machine vision applications and it was mainly set up by AIA (Automated Imaging Association) members. GigE Vision is capable of transmitting large amounts of uncompressed image data through an inexpensive general purpose LAN cable for a long distance.

GigE Vision also supports the GenICamTM standard which is mainly set up by the EMVA (European Machine Vision Association). The purpose of the GenICam standard is to provide a common program interface for various machine vision cameras. By using GenICam, cameras from different manufactures can seamlessly connect in one platform.

As a new extension of standards, GigE Vision Ver.2.0 employs Link Aggregation which combines two independent ports and identifies these as one port, making much higher transfer rates possible; PTP (IEEE 1588) which provides more precise time management; and Manifest which enables either GigE Vision Ver.1.X or Ver.2.0 on demand. SP-5000-GE2 complies with those extensions. For the details, please refer to Chapter 5.1.

For details about the GigE Vision standard, please visit the AIA web site,

www.machinevisiononline.org and for GenICam, the EMVA web site, www.genicam.org.

4 Recommended PC to be used

The PC used should have the following performance or better

1) Recommended CPU : Core i3 or better,

2) Recommended memory: DDR3, 4GB fully equipped (Windows 7 32-bit) DDR3, 8GB fully equipped (Windows 7 64-bit)

3) Graphics card : Should apply with PCI Express Generation 3.0 or better

4) NIC : Use Intel NIC PCI-Express Bus to install Intel NIC should be better than Generation 2.0. Generation 1.0 cannot be used.

5) Other: If the picture is always displayed on the monitor, it is not recommended to use the CPU in the PC.

5 About the network card to be used

SP-5000-GE2 complies with Link Aggregation which handles two ports as one port. To make the best use of this function, the network card used should comply with 1000BASE-T as well as Link Aggregation. It also complies with Jumbo Frame. If Jumbo Frame is set to a large value, the PC processing load can be reduced. The packet overhead is also reduced and as the result, the bandwidth of the communication line has more room. Table1. NIC

6 Cables to be used

GigEVision configures the system by using 1000BASE-T. In the market, CAT5e (125MHz), CAT6 (250MHz) and CAT7 (600MHz) cables are available for 1000BASE-T. There are crossover cables and straight through cables available. Currently, as most equipment complies with Auto MDI/MDI-X, please use straight through cables. (Among crossover cables, a half crossover type exists, which the Ethernet will recognize as 100BASE-T).

7 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

Camera Operation Manual

1. General

The SP-5000M-GE2 and SP-5000C-GE2 are among the first new Spark Series cameras to be introduced. They are high performance cameras with high resolution and a fast frame rate suitable for high speed machine vision applications. The SP-5000M-GE2 is a monochrome progressive scan CMOS camera and the SP-5000C-GE2 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 up to 44 frames per second for continuous scanning with 2560 x 2048 full pixel resolution for both monochrome and raw Bayer output.

8-bit or 10-bit output can be selected for both monochrome and raw Bayer formats. The SP-5000C-GE2 is also capable of performing in-camera color interpolation at reduced frame rates. The new cameras feature a GigE Vision Ver. 2.0 interface which has a new Link Aggregation (LAG) extension. LAG handles two ports as one port and this function enables higher data transfer rates in an Ethernet environment.

The SP-5000M-GE2 and SP-5000C-GE2 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-GE2 and SP-5000C-GE2 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 GigE interface

5.1.1 GigEVision 2.0 interface extension

SP-5000-GE2 complies with GigE Vision 2.0. Its extension functions are described below.

5.1.1.1 Link Aggregation

By handling two ports as one port, the maximum transfer rate can be achieved at 2Gbps. This function is based on IEEE 802.3ad, IEEE 802.1AX Link Aggregation and GigE Vision 2.0.

Table 2. Link Aggregation Specifications

Link Aggregation

system

sLAG(Static Link Aggregation Group) and dLAG(Dynamic Link Aggregation Group)

When dLAG is selected, LACP selects automatically. When sLAG is selected, if HW conditions are not

satisfied, SL(Single Link) is activated.

Load distribution

system

Round-robin processing GVSP Ether Frame is output from Port 1 or Port 2 alternatively.

When the first packet (Leader packet : Leader

frame) of the video frame is output, the output port is reset to 1.

Physical Network

Number

2 Ports Port 1 and Port 2 are enabled.

Multi Link (ML) is not supported.

MAC Address

Number

As only SL, sLAG and dLAG are supported, MAC

Address is one. Port 1 and Port 2 use the same MAC Address．（Note 1）

IP Address

Number

As only SL, sLAG and dLAG are supported, IP Address is one. Port 1 and Port 2 use the same IP Address．（Note 1）

IP Address is set up at the port which is linked up initially.

GVCP Port

Automatic selecting

The transmission is executed through the port which receives GVCP command.

Stream Channel

Number

1 Channel

When SL is used, one stream is output from either Port1 or Port2 which is linked up. When sLAG or dLAG is used, one stream is output in load-balanced from Port 1 and Port2.

SL/sLAG

Selecting

Method

Selected by the status of Port Link UP

If only 1 port is linked up, it is SL.

If sLAG is enabled, and if Port 1 and Port 2 are linked up, the status is changed to sLAG.

If dLAG is enabled, and if Port 1 and Port 2 are linked up, the status is set to dLAG by LACP. If only one port is linked up, the status is reverted to SL.

On sLAG or dLAG status, if one port is linked down, the status is reverted to SL.

Event Message

GEV_EVENT_LINK_SPEED_C HANGE

If a change of SL to or from LAG occurs, GEV_EVENT_SPEED_CHANGE Event Message can be issued.

Note 1: In Link Aggregation operation, two ports use the same MAC Address and IP Address.

Accordingly, if these two ports are connected to only one non-compliant IEEE 802.3ad or IEEE 802.1AX switch, the function is not properly executed. If non-compliant IEEE 802.3 and/or IEEE 802.1AX switch is used, 2 sets should be used and connected to each port.

5.5.1 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-GE2, the pixel clock is set at 48 MHz.

5.5.4 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.

5.5.5 Pulse Generator End Point

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

5.5.6 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.

5.5.7 Pulse Generator Clear Activation

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

5.5.8 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.

7. Operating modes

7.1. Acquisition control (change the frame rate)

7.1.1 Acquisition Mode

In the SP-5000-GE2, the following three acquisition modes are available.

Single frame : One frame can be output by AcqusitionStart command Multi frames : The number of frames which is specified in Acquistion Frame Count, are output by AcquisitionStart command Continuous : Images are continuously output by AcquisitionStart command until AcqusitionStop command is input.

7.1.1.1 Single Frame operation

In single frame mode, executing the AcquisitionStart command causes one frame to be captured. After one frame is captured, this operation is automatically stopped. In order to restart the capture, it is necessary to input the AcquisitionStart command again. BlockID is not reset until AcquisitionStop is input and is incremented when the AcquisitionStart command is called. In the case of PIV operation, 2 frames are captured.

◆ Normal single frame operation

1) AcquisitionStart command is input

2) AcquisitionActive becomes “TRUE” (accepts capture)

3) 1 frame is output

4) AcquisitionActive becomes “FALSE” (stop capturing)

◆ Forcing acquisition to stop

While AcquisitionActive is “TRUE”, if AcquisitionStop or AcquisitionAbort is initiated, AcquisitionActive becomes “FALSE” (stop capturing).

However, if AcqusitionStop command is initiated during image output period, AcqusitionActive becomes “FALSE” (stop capturing) after image output is completed.

7.1.1.2 Multi Frame operation

In this mode, the AcquisitionStart command captures the number of frames which are specified by AcquisitionFrameCount.

◆ Normal multi-frame operation

1) AcquisitionStart command is input

2) AcquisitionTriggerWait becomes effective

3) AcquisitionActive becomes “TRUE”(accepts capture)

4) Output N frames as specified by AcquisitionFrameCount

5) AcquisitionActive becomes “FALSE”. Then the output stops. (See the following diagram)

◆ Forcing acquisition to stop

While AcquisitionActive is “TRUE”, if AcquisitionStop or AcquisitionAbort is initiated, AcquisitionActive becomes “FALSE” (stop capturing). Once the operation is set to “FALSE”, the internal FrameCount is reset.

However, if AcqusitionStop command is initiated during image output period, AcqusitionActive becomes “FALSE” (stop capturing) after image output is completed. Once, AcqusitionActive becomes “FALSE”, the internal count is reset.

 Acqusition Frame Count (16-bit): Can be set in the range of 1 to 65535

In PIV mode, Acquisition Frame Count (16-bit) can be set in the range of 2 to 65535. The setting for PIV mode is 2 steps.

7.1.2 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 frame frequency. Allowed values range from 6999 Hz to 0.125 Hz (µs) for SP-5000-GE2, however if the value entered is less 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 (8 lines) requires 6999 Hz (fps)(8-bit, LAG), so any entry more than 6999 Hz (fps) will always be ignored.

The setting range in Acquisition Frame Rate is:

Shortest

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

0.125 Hz (fps) = 8 seconds

For the above setting, Acquisition Frame Rate is used and its unit is Hz (fps). Acquisition Frame Rate: 6999 Hz (fps) to 0.125 Hz (fps)

7.1.3 Calculation of frame rate

The actual frame rate is the smaller one between the sensor output frame rate and frame rate of network bandwidth. If frame rate of network bandwidth is smaller than sensor output frame rate, sensor output frame rate is automatically adjusted to match frame rate of network bandwidth. The calculation formula for each frame rate is the following.

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

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.

8.1 Black level control

This function adjusts the setup level. The adjusting level is -64 to +63LSB at 10-bit output.

8.1.1 Black Level Selector

The following factors can be set.

SP-5000M-GE2: DigitalAll SP-5000C-GE2: DigitalAll/DigitalRed/ DigitalBlue

8.1.2 Black Level

The black level can be set in the following range.

SP-5000M-GE2: DigitalAll：-512～ +511

SP-5000C-GE2: DigitalAll：-512～ +511

DigitalRed/DigitalBlue：-512～ +511

8.2 Gain control

In the SP-5000-GE2, the gain control uses Analog Base Gain and Digital Gain. Analog Base Gain can be set at 0dB, +6dB or +12dB for for both SP-5000M-GE2 and SP-5000C-GE2. In the SP-5000C-GE2, R, G and B channel can be adjusted individually or simultaneously.

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

x0.01/step which is 0.05dB to 0.08dB, depending on the setting value.

3. In the SP-5000C-GE2, 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.

4. In the SP-5000C-GE2, analog gain can be applied to R, G and B channel respectively in order to cover wider range of color temperature.

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 is better on analog gain performance. However, the AGC function works only in digital gain. Additionally, the analog base gain is effective in order to minimize the drop of the histogram at higher gain settings. Please note that the analog base gain has less accuracy due to its variability.

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

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

8.3.2 LUT Index

This represents the “starting” or “input” pixel value to be modified by the Lookup Table. The SP-5000-GE2 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.

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 (12-bit) 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.

Output Data = Video IN x LUT data

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.

Adjustable range

Less 30%

Fig. 49 Flat shading correction concept drawing

Color shading correction (For SP-5000C-GE2 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.

Note: Under the following conditions, the shading correction circuit may not work properly.

 If there is some area in the image with a video level less than 70%  If part of the image or the entire image is saturated  If the highest video level in the image is less than 300LSB (at 10-bit output)

8.6. Blemish compensation

The SP-5000M-GE2 and SP-5000C-GE2 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 SP-5000C-GE2, the defective pixels can be compensated by the same Bayer color pixels in both adjacent columns. Please refer to the following drawing. As for white blemishes, the automatic detection function is available and after its execution, the data is stored in memory. The customer can use the data by setting the blemish compensation ON. For black blemishes, only compensation that has been done in the factory is available. The number of pixels that can be compensated is up to 512 pixels.

Note: If defective pixels are found consecutively in the horizontal direction, the blemish compensation circuit does not work.

8.7. Bayer color interpolation (Only for SP-5000C-GE2)

This function is available only for SP-5000C-GE2. The SP-5000C-GE2 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.

The RAW data contains only luminance information for each color and outputs as a monochrome signal. The Bayer color interpolation function can complement lacking color information on each pixel and output RGB or YUV 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. It is invoked when one of the interpolated pixel formats (RGB or YUV) is selected.

8.8.1 About P-Iris

New Spark Series SP-5000M-GE2 and SP-5000C-GE2 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 Les 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.

1) When the camera is powered

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 Current F value

The current F value is indicated by using iris position information. This can be indicated during auto iris operation. The relation between iris position and F value depends on the lens used.

8.8.2.5 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.

8.8.3 Motorized lenses

The SP-5000C-GE2 and SP-5000C-GE2 can use the 3-axis motorized lens control for zoom, focus and iris. The following functions are available via the motorized lens commands.

8.8.3.1 Iris

Open: While this command is supplied, the iris will continue to open. Close: While this command is supplied, the iris will continue to close. Stop: When this command is supplied, the iris operation stops.

8.9 ALC

In the SP-5000M-GE2 and SP-5000C-GE2, 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-GE2 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 exposure time value is fixed at the value when HDR Mode is activated. When the

exposure time is changed, HDR Mode should be off. Once the exposure time is changed, the HDR Mode can be set to ON again.

5. In this mode, Exposure Auto function is disabled.

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.
