■ Disclaimer
● We will not be responsible for any inconveniences or disturbances caused
in the event of privacy invasion as a result of camera footages of this
product.
■ Others
● Under fluorescent lights and the like, the hue of the bright areas of the
screen may change periodically. If this happens, set [CRR MODE] to “ON”
to reduce this phenomenon.
● When the [AGC/SHUTTER] setting is anything except “OFF”, the
sensitivity increases automatically for dark images and the screen may
appear grainy, but this is not a malfunction.
● When the [AGC/SHUTTER] setting is “×2”, “×4”, “×8”, or “×16” and [WDR
LEVEL] is set to the plus side, the camera exposure may not emulate the
subject. If this happens, set [AGC/SHUTTER] to “LOW”, “MID”, or “HIGH”,
or lower the [WDR LEVEL] to near “NORMAL” to use it.
● When [EASY D/N] is set to “AUTO”, the image turns black-and-white in a
dark location. As the sensitivity level is increased in this case, the screen
may appear grainy and more white spots may appear. When switching
between modes, the brighter area on the screen is emphasized and
visibility may be reduced. However, this is not a malfunction.
● Before mounting the camera to the mounting location, attach the lens to
be used on the camera and check the back focus.
● When the white balance of this camera is set to “ATW-W”, “ATW”, or
“ATW-I” and depending on the conditions of the object, the colour tone
may differ slightly from the actual colour due to the principle of the
automatic tracking white balance circuit. This is not a malfunction.
● When this camera is moved from a cold to warm place, condensation may
occur and the camera may not work. In this case, leave the camera under
room temperature for about one hour before turning on the power.
● When the power supply voltage is momentarily disrupted or drops due
to lightning, turning on the air-conditioner or the like, image distortion or
noise may occur.
● The 3D noise reduction function of this camera may result in afterimage
of a moving subject. Afterimage is more likely to occur when using the
camera with [DNR MODE] set to anything except “OFF”. This is not a
malfunction.
● Noise may be more visible in dark areas of images if subjects are in low
lighting, brightness changes drastically, or if there is extreme backlighting,
but this is not a malfunction.
• Always do a test recording in advance, to make sure that important
images are being recorded correctly.
• Understand that no compensation is provided for information that is not
recorded because of any problem with the video camera or recording
equipment.

■ Connecting the Power Supply Cable
When power is supplied to the camera, the POWER lamp on the side panel
lights up.
● AC 24 V or DC 12 V
To prevent connection errors or a cable disconnection, use a lug plate to
connect to the terminal.
The following table shows the connection distances when 2-core VVF (vinylinsulated vinyl sheath cables) are used. (Reference value)

distance: AC 24 V
• Do not connect an AC 24 V cable to a commercial power
supply. If it is connected by mistake, the internal circuit may
be damaged. Send the camera to the nearest dealer for
inspection as the internal circuit may be damaged.
• Do not connect DC 12 V and AC 24 V cables at the same
time.
• If thin cables are used, the resistance of the cables will
be high and a significant voltage drop will occur when the
camera is at its maximum power consumption. Either use
a thick cable with low resistance or place the power supply
near to the camera and shorten the length of the cable to
restrict the voltage drop at the rated current of camera to
below 10%. If voltage drop occurs during operation, the
performance will be unstable.
• When using a DC 12 V power supply, ensure that the
polarities of the cable are correct.
• For safety reasons, turn on the power only after ensuring
that all the connections are in place.
■ Connecting the Monitor
Connect with a 75 Ω coaxial cable (BNC) such as RG-59 or equivalent.

■ Precautions about the Camera Falling
● Special precautions are needed when mounting the camera on a wall or
ceiling. Use professional technicians for this, do not do it yourself. The
camera could cause injury or damage if it falls.
● If the camera is mounted on a fixer, pan/tilt unit and the like, use a
rotation-preventive hole to prevent falling and attach it securely.
● To prevent fall, connect the camera to a section with sufficient strength
(ceiling slab or channel) using a fall prevention wire.
● Also, carefully consider the length, strength, layout, material (insulation),
and other aspects of the fall prevention wire.
● Use the screws (M3 × 6 mm) on the back of the product to attach the fall
prevention wire. Do not use screws that are longer than 6 mm, doing so
may damage the inside of the camera.
