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
How to Clean a Sensor
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.
lWork in a clean environment.
lDo not remove the caps from the camera and lens until immediately before you attach the lens.
lTo 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.
lAlways use a blower brush to remove any dust that adheres.
lNever use your hands or cloth, blow with your mouth, or use other methods to remove dust.
Notes on Camera Link Cable Connections
Secure the locking screws on the connector manually, and do
not use a driver. Do not secure the screws too tightly. Doing so
may wear down the screw threads on the camera. (Tightening
torque: 0.15 N·m or less)
Caution: Secure manually. Do not secure too tightly.

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.
lAliasing: When shooting straight lines, stripes, and similar patterns, vertical aliasing (zigzag
distortion) may appear on the monitor.
lBlooming: 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.
lFixed pattern noise: When shooting dark objects in high-temperature conditions, fixed pattern
noise may occur throughout the entire video monitor screen.
lDefective 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.

2Step 2: Verify Camera Operation
lVerify whether the camera is turned on and ready for use.
3Step 3: Verify the Connection Between the Camera and PC
lVerify whether the camera is properly recognized.
4
Step 4: Change the Camera Settings
lRefer to the procedure for changing the output format setting as an example and change various
settings as necessary.
5
Step 5: Adjust the Image Quality
lRefer to the procedures for adjusting the gain and black level as examples and adjust the image
quality.
6Step 6: Save the Settings
lSave the current setting configurations in user memory.
Short ASCII Commands
The most universal method for controlling a Camera Link camera such as this camera is by the use of
short ASCII commands sent via serial communications. All Camera Link frame grabber boards
support the use of these short ASCII commands. SDKs that utilize these ASCII commands for
developing machine vision applications are typically available from the grabber manufacturer, as well
as from third-party vendors.
This section describes how to configure various camera settings using serial communication and
specific short ASCII commands. A complete list of all available ASCII commands for this camera can
be found at the end of this manual (Short ASCII Command List).
This camera fully supports applications written using GenICam-based SDKs. The advantage of this is
that programs written using GenICam names can be applied with little or no modification to control
cameras with other GenICam-compliant interfaces and even GenICam-compliant cameras from
different vendors.

①Lens
C-mount lenses with lens mount protrusions of 10 mm or less can be attached.
To prevent vignetting and to obtain the optimal resolution, use a lens that will cover the image sensor
size.
lType 1, 12.8mm x 10.24mm (16.392mm diagonal)
Cautions:
lThe maximum performance of the camera may not be realized depending on the lens.
lAttaching a lens with a mount protrusion of 10 mm or longer may damage the lens or
camera.
Notes:
The following formula can be used to estimate the focal length.
Focal length = WD / (1 + W/w)
WD: Working distance (distance between lens and object)
W: Width of object
w: Width of sensor (=12.8mm)
②Direct Mounting (or Use MP-43 Tripod Adapter Plate)
When mounting the camera directly to a wall or other device, use screws that match the mounting
holes on the camera. (Large: M3, small: M2, depth: 3 mm)
Use the supplied screws to attach the tripod adapter plate.
Caution: For heavy lenses, be sure to support the lens itself. Do not use configurations in which
its weight is supported by the camera.

③Camera Link Cable
Connect the Camera Link cable to the Mini Camera Link connector.
lUse a cable that supports the Camera Link standard and is compatible with Mini Camera Link
(SDR) connectors.
lRefer to the specifications of the cable for details on its bend radius.
lFor details on the cable, see ③ ④ Camera Link Connector 1 and 2.
Caution: Refer to Notes on Camera Link Cable Connections when connecting the cables to the
connectors.
④Frame Grabber Board
Refer to the operating instructions of the frame grabber board and configure settings on the computer
as necessary. (Use a computer that meets the requirements of your frame grabber board).
⑤DC IN Connection Cable (Option, EV and UVModels Only)
Provides the power supply to the camera.
Notes:
lThe DC In connector is available only on the EV and UV camera.
lA power supply is not required when using PoCL.
⑥AC Adapter (Power Supply, Option, EV and UV Models Only)
Connect the AC adapter and the round connector of the connection cable to the DC IN connector on
the camera.
Note: The AC adapter is not required when using PoCL.
