Precautions

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: 0^ to 40^ [32°F to 104°F])
• Exposed in direct sunlight for a long time, 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.

Transportation

When transporting the camera, repack it as originally packed at the factory or in materials equal in quality.

Cleaning the main unit

• 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 camera for a long period of time. Doing so may damage the finish.

Replacing the batteries of the Remote Commander

If the remote commander does not operate from a long distance, the batteries may be worn out. Replace the batteries with new ones (AA × 2).

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 your Sony dealer.

Note on laser beams

Laser beams may damage the CMOS image sensors. If you shoot a scene that includes a laser beam, be careful not to let a laser beam become directed into the image sensors of the camera.

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 1/2.8 type Exmor CMOS camera (utilising approximately 2 million valid pixels) allows for high-definition shooting with superior picture quality.
• Adopts 20 times optical magnification, F1.6 high power and luminous zoom lens.
• By adopting its wide and dynamic range functions, you can see the optimised shooting image which incorporates bright and dark subjects at the same time.
• The camera has a variety of HD video format choices and digital and analogue interface connectors. The EVI-H100S camera has HD-SDI (High Definition-Serial Digital Interface) output, suitable for long-distance transmission. The EVI-H100V camera has a DVI-I (VIDEO OUT) connector supporting both digital and analogue output.
• The camera can be used for NTSC and PAL output in letter box size (EVI-H100S).
• Adopts the industry standard RS-232C interface of VISCA camera protocol in external communication. It is possible to operate from long distances by using both RS-232C and RS-422.
• You can install the camera on ceilings due to the functions of high-speed and wide range pan/tilt action and vertical image flip.
• You can use the infrared remote commander to set the camera and also to select panning, tilting and zooming from the setting menu.
• You can store up to 6 kinds of camera direction and camera status into the camera.
