camera for a long period of time. Doing so
may damage the finish.
Operating or storage location
Operating or storing the camera in the
following locations may cause damage to
the camera:
• Extremely hot or cold places (Operating
temperature: 5°C to 35°C [41°F to 95°F])
• Exposed in direct sunlight, or close to
heating equipment (e.g., near heaters)
• Close to sources of strong magnetism
• Close to sources of powerful
electromagnetic radiation, such as radios
or TV transmitters
• Locations subject to vibration or shock
Ventilation
To prevent heat buildup, do not block air
circulation around the camera.
Connection of the camera cable
Be sure to turn off the power of the HD
Visual Communication System before
connecting the camera to the System with
the supplied camera cable. Otherwise, the
camera and System may suffer damage, or
the picture may not be displayed.
Transportation
When transporting the camera, repack it as
originally packed at the factory or in
materials equal in quality.
Maintenance
The camera mechanism may cause abnormal
noise due to wear and lubrication loss after a
long period of use. To maintain optimum
performance, we recommend periodical
maintenance. If abnormal noise occurs,
consult with your Sony dealer.
Note on laser beams
Laser beams may damage the CMOS. If
you shoot a scene that includes a laser
beam, be careful not to let a laser beam
become directed into the CMOS of the
camera.
Cleaning the main unit
• Use a blower to remove dust from the lens
or optical filter.
• When the body of the camera is dirty,
clean it with a soft cloth that is soaked with
a diluted neutral detergent and tightly
wrung. Then finish with a dry cloth.
• Do not use any type of solvents, which
may damage the finish.
• When you use a chemical cloth, follow its
instructions.
• Do not sprinkle volatile matter such as
pesticide over your camera nor allow
rubber or vinyl to come in contact with the
Precautions

Phenomena Specific
to CMOS Image
Sensors
The following phenomena that may appear
in images are specific to CMOS
(Complementary Metal Oxide
Semiconductor) image sensors. They do not
indicate malfunctions.
White flecks
Although the CMOS image sensors are
produced with high-precision technologies,
fine white flecks may be generated on the
screen in rare cases, caused by cosmic rays,
etc. This is related to the principle of CMOS
image sensors and is not a malfunction.
White flecks tend to be seen particularly in
the following cases:
• during operation at a high environmental
temperature
• when you have raised the gain (sensitivity)
This phenomena may be improved by
turning the camera off and then on again.
Aliasing
When fine patterns, stripes, or lines are shot,
they may appear jagged or flicker.
Features
The camera is designed to be used
exclusively with the Sony PCS-XG80/
XG80S HD Visual Communication System.
The power is supplied to the camera by the
HD Visual Communication System. For
adjustments and settings of the camera, refer
to the Operating Instructions of the PCSXG80/XG80S.
CMOS camera with high image
quality
The camera unit incorporates 2,000,000
effective picture elements (pixels) that can
shoot high-definition images to offer
superior picture quality.
Silent, high-speed pan and tilt action
By adopting the direct drive motor
mechanism, in addition to high-speed pan/
tilt action, improvement of the noise
reduction mechanism lets you use the
camera for a variety of purposes.
Video format compatible with full HD
The camera allows you to shoot an image
using the 1080i high definition video format,
which is equivalent to an HD-TV broadcast.

Installing the
Camera
Installing the Camera on a
Desk
Place the camera on a flat surface.
If you have to place the camera on an
inclined surface, make sure that the
inclination is less than ±15 degrees, so that
the pan/tilt performance is guaranteed.
Notes
• You should take an appropriate
countermeasure to prevent the camera from
falling.
• Do not grasp the camera head when carrying
the camera.
• Do not turn the camera head by hand. Doing
so may result in a camera malfunction.
Note
The supplied hook-and-loop pads are attached
to prevent the camera from falling down or
falling from an installation location. Do not use
them for attaching the camera to the HD Visual
Communication System. Doing so and only
holding the camera may cause the
Communication System to fall or result in
damage to the connecting cable.
Attaching the Camera to a
Tripod
Attach a tripod to the screw hole used for
attaching a tripod on the bottom of the
camera.
The tripod must be set up on a flat surface
and its screws tightened firmly by hand.
Use a tripod with screws of the following
specifications.
Using the Supplied Hookand-Loop Pads
You can secure the camera to the installation
location using the supplied two sets of hookand-loop pads.
Stick the hook-and-loop pads to the
attachment locations on the bottom of the
camera and the other pads to the installation
location, and press both sets of pads to each
other until they snap together.
