Operating precautions

Shoot under the proper lighting conditions.

To produce pictures with eye-pleasing colors, shoot under the proper lighting conditions.

The pictures may not appear with their proper colors when shooting under fluorescent lights. Select the proper lighting as required.

To ensure a stable performance in the long term

Using the unit for prolonged periods in locations where the temperature and humidity levels are high will cause its parts to deteriorate, resulting in a reduction of its service life. (Recommended temperature: Max. 35 °C [95 °F])

Ensure that a cooling unit or heating unit will not blow any air directly toward the installation location.

Image persistence on the MOS sensor color filters

If parts of the MOS sensor are exposed continuously to spotlights or other bright lights, the color filters inside the MOS sensor will deteriorate, and the parts concerned may become discolored. The discoloration may be noticeable when the direction of fixed monitoring is changed.

Do not point the camera at strong lights.

When parts of the MOS sensor are exposed to spotlights or other strong lights, blooming (a phenomenon where the edges of strong lights become blurred) may occur.

Bright subject

Blooming

Concerning the color reproduction of MOS sensors

Depending on the color tones of the subjects, the color reproduction may deteriorate: This is normal and not indicative of any trouble.

What happens with high-brightness subjects

Flare may occur if an extremely bright light source is pointed at the lens. In a case like this, change the angle or take some other remedial action.

When using the automatic functions

●● If “Full Auto” has been selected as the setting for Scene on the camera menu, for example, all the auto settings will be turned on, and manual operations will no longer be possible for some of the items.

●● When using the ATW (auto tracking white adjustment) function under fluorescent lights, the white balance may vary.

●● In some situations, it may be hard to focus at the auto setting. In cases like this, select the manual setting, and focus manually.

●● The appropriate brightness may not be obtained when shooting bright objects using the auto settings for the gain and iris.

In cases like this, set the shutter speed to manual, and adjust.

Zooming and focusing

When the focus is set manually, out-of-focusing may occur during zooming.

After zooming, if necessary, either adjust the focus or set the focus to auto.

When using the focus at the manual setting, proceed with zooming after setting the focus position at the Tele end where the focusing accuracy is higher.

(However, if the distance from the unit to the subject is less than 1.0 meter [3.28 ft], the subject may shift out of focus at the Wide end.)

If zooming is performed to the Tele end after having adjusted the focus at the Wide end, out-of-focusing may occur.

Concerning the zoom position when the power is turned on

When the unit is turned on, the zoom, focus, and iris return to their positions from before the unit entered standby mode. (This happens for the focus and iris when they were set manually.)

The operation will be performed with the [Preset Scope] settings applied in such cases.

However, this position may not be restored if, for instance, the power cable was disconnected during operation.

Operating temperature range

Avoid using the unit in cold locations where the temperature drops below 0 °C (32 °F) or hot locations where the temperature rises above 40 °C (104 °F) since these temperatures downgrade the picture quality and adversely affect the internal parts.

Concerning the HDMI interface standard

The unit has been certified as HDMI-compatible, but on rare occasions images may not be displayed depending on the HDMI device which has been connected to the unit.

Operating precautions (continued)

Color bars

Color bars are used to adjust the color phase, and the widths and positions of these bars may differ from other models.

Concerning IP video refresh speed and operations from the web screen

The IP video refresh speed may be reduced and operations from the web screen may be slower, depending on the network environment used, performance of the personal computer or the mobile terminal, subjects and access count.
