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 LAN cable connection
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: 0.147 Nm or less)
Secure

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.

*) Since it varies depending on the applied voltage, load resistance, cable length, etc., check the
actual environment before use.
Caution
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 )2/ (load resistance)

Caution
•The maximum performance of the camera may not be realized depending on
the lens.
•Attaching a lens with a mount protrusion of 9 mm or longer may damage the
lens or camera.
Note: 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
②Direct connection（or MP-43 tripod adapter plate）
When mounting the camera directly to a wall or other device, use screws that match the camera
locking screw holes on the camera (M3, 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.
③LAN cable
Connect a LAN cable to the RJ-45 connector.
•Use a LAN cable that is Category 5e or higher (Category 6 recommended).
•Use a LAN cable that is STP cable.
•When supplying power via PoE, connect to a PoE-compatible switching hub or a PoE-
compatible network card.
•Refer to the specifications of the cable for details on its bend radius.
Caution
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:
0.147 Nm or less)
Secure manually.
Do not secure too tightly.
④Network card
Install this in the computer that will be used to configure and operate the camera. As the camera
supports PoE, you can also use PoE-compatible network cards. Refer to the instruction manual of
the network card, and configure settings on the computer as necessary.
⑤DC IN / trigger IN connection cable
⑥AC adapter (power supply) (if necessary)
Connect the AC adapter and the round connector of the connection cable to the DC IN / trigger IN
connector on the camera.
