Phenomena Specic to CCD Image Sensors
The following phenomena that may appear in images are specic to CCD (Charge
Coupled Device) image sensors. They do not indicate malfunctions.
White ecks
Although the CCD image sensors are produced with high-precision technologies,
ne white ecks may be generated on the screen in rare cases, caused by cosmic
rays, etc.
This is related to the principle of CCD image sensors and is not a malfunction.
The white ecks especially tend to be seen in the following cases:
- when operating at a high environmental temperature
- when you have raised the gain (sensitivity)
- when using the slow shutter
Vertical smear
When an extremely bright object, such as a strong spotlight or ashlight, is
being shot, vertical tails may be produced on the screen, or the image may be
distorted.
Aliasing
When ne patterns, stripes, or lines are shot, they may appear jagged or icker.
