Usage Precautions
Notes on cable configurations
The presence of lighting equipment and television receivers nearby may result in
video noise. In such cases, change the cable configurations or placement.
Notes on attaching the lens
Avoiding dust particles
When attaching the lens to the camera, stray dust and other particles may adhere
to the sensor surface and rear surface of the lens. Be careful of the following
when attaching the lens.
• Work in a clean environment.
• Do not remove the caps from the camera and lens until immediately before
you attach the lens.
• To prevent dust from adhering to surfaces, point the camera and lens
downward and do not allow the lens surface to come into contact with your
hands or other objects.
•Always use a blower brush to remove any dust that adheres.
Never use your hands or cloth, blow with your mouth, or use other methods to
remove dust.
Phenomena specific to CMOS image sensors
The following phenomena are known to occur on cameras equipped with CMOS
image sensors. These do not indicate malfunctions.
• Aliasing
When shooting straight lines, stripes, and similar patterns, vertical aliasing
(zigzag distortion) may appear on the monitor.
• Blooming
When strong light enters the camera, some pixels on the CMOS image sensor
may receive much more light than they are designed to hold, causing the
accumulated signal charge to overflow into surrounding pixels.This
“blooming” phenomenon can be seen in the image, but does not affect the
operation of the camera.
• Fixed pattern noise
When shooting dark objects in high-temperature conditions, fixed pattern noise
may occur throughout the entire video monitor screen.
• Defective pixels
Defective pixels (white and black pixels) of the CMOS image sensor are
minimized at the factory according to shipping standards. However, as this
phenomenon can be affected by the ambient temperature, camera settings
(e.g., high sensitivity and long exposure), and other factors, be sure to operate
within the camera’s specified operating environment.
Notes on exportation
When exporting this product, please follow the export regulations of your country
or region.

Result (Typ)
For the operating conditions of applied voltage (User Power) +12V, load resistance
10kΩ, and cable length 1m, the timing is shown in the table below.
*) Since it varies depending on the applied voltage, load resistance, cable length,
etc., check the actual environment before use.

Voltage
Please note that the recommended load resistance of Opto output is 10 kΩ (rated 1/10
W) or more. The 270 Ω resistor shown in the circuit diagram is the MINIMUM resistance
that should be used. The response speed from On (High) to Off (Low) depends on the
voltage applied to Opto output and the value of the load resistance. Higher load
resistance results in slower response. If the response at 10 kΩ is slower than desired,
you can try reducing the load resistance in order to increase the response speed but DO
NOT go below the minimum 270 Ω value.
The load resistance loss can be calculated as follows.
load resistance loss ≒(voltage applied to Opto output ) / (load resistance)

Adjusting the Gain
Adjust the image quality using the gain and white balance* functions.
*) Color model only
—20 —
To adjust the image quality
The Visibility must be changed from [Beginner] to [Guru].
Adjust the sensitivity via the analog gain (i.e., master gain).
For details on gain control, see “Gain Control” in the “Main Functions” section.
■Manual adjustment
1Expand [AnalogControl], and set [GainAuto] to [Off].
([Off] is default setting.)
2Configure the gain.
❶Expand [AnalogControl], and select the gain you want to configure in [GainSelector].
[AnalogAll] (master gain), [DigitalRed]* (digital R gain), and [DigitalBlue]*
(digital B gain) can be configured.
❷Configure the gain value in [Gain].
• [AnalogAll] (master gain) can be set to a value from x1 to x126 the analog gain
value. The resolution is set in 0.1 dB steps. Values are configured by multipliers.
• The [DigitalRed]* (digital R gain) and [DigitalBlue]* (digital B gain) can be set to a
value from x0.447 to the [AnalogAll] (master gain) value.
Adjusting the White Balance*
Adjust the white balance using the automatic adjustment function.
*) Color model only
■Automatic white balance adjustment
1Place a white sheet of paper or similar object under the same lighting conditions
as the intended subject, and zoom in to capture the white.
White objects near the subject, such as a white cloth or wall, can also be used. Be
sure to prevent the high-intensity spot lights from entering the screen.
2Select the [BalanceWhiteAuto] tab, and select [Continuous] or [Once] for the
adjustment method.
The white balance is automatically adjusted.
