• Use of a mobile phone close to this camera may cause a malfunction of the camera or affect the quality of images. You are cautioned to turn off any mobile phone near the camera.

• Never expose the lens to the sun or other strong light source. Exposing the lens to the sun or other strong light source may cause damage to internal parts. When the camera is not being used, keep it out of direct sunlight and other strong light, or protect it with a lens cover. 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

• Use a blower to remove dust from the lens or optical filter.

• Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the external surfaces of the camera. Stubborn stains can be removed using a soft cloth dampened with a small quantity of detergent solution, then wipe dry.

• Do not use volatile solvents such as alcohol, benzene or thinners as they may damage the surface finishes. The pan/tilt mechanism Do not disturb pan/tilt movement while power is supplied to the camera. Doing so may cause damage or malfunction. Do not touch the camera casing, the lens, or any part of the camera, when energized. It may cause a malfunction of the camera. 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 periodic maintenance. If abnormal noise occurs, consult your Sony dealer. Camera function setting Before setting the function of the camera such as pan/ tilt, angle of view, zooming, etc., install the camera suitably and fix the camera securely. If you change the camera’s installation after setting functions, differences may arise on the setting. Recording an image Make sure that the image is displayed correctly. If the image is not displayed correctly (the image is distorted, etc.), turn the camera off, then on again. Note on laser beamsLaser beams may damage a CMOS image sensor. You are cautioned that the surface of a CMOS image sensor should not be exposed to laser beam radiation in an environment where a laser beam device is used.Getting Started Phenomena Specific to CMOS Image Sensors

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. The white flecks especially tend to be seen in the following cases:

• when operating at a high ambient temperature

• when you have raised the gain (sensitivity) The white flecks may be reduced by turning the camera off, then on again. Aliasing When fine patterns, stripes, or lines are shot, they may appear jagged or flicker. Focal plane Owing to the characteristics of the pickup elements (CMOS image sensors) for reading video signals, subjects that quickly move across the screen may appear slightly skewed. Flash band If you shoot a strobe or quick-flashing light, brightness may differ between the upper and lower halves of the picture. Flicker If recording under lighting produced by discharge tubes, such as fluorescent, sodium, or mercury-vapor lamps, the screen may flicker, colors may vary, or horizontal stripes may appear distorted. In such cases, turn the FLICKER CANCEL function on (see page 37). Depending on lighting types, etc., such phenomena may not be improved with the FLICKER CANCEL function. It is recommend to set the shutter speed to 1/100 sec. in the areas of 50 Hz power supply frequency and to 1/60 in the areas of 60 Hz.OverviewFeatures
