1 Product Precautions
 Do not give shock to the camera.
 Do not haul or damage the camera cable.
 Do not wrap the camera with any material while using the camera. This will cause the internal camera
temperature to increase.
 When the camera moving or using the place that temperature difference is extreme, countermeasure for
dew condensation (heat removal / cold removal) is necessary.
 While the camera is not using, keep the lens cap on the camera to prevent dust or contamination from getting
in the sensor or filter and scratching or damaging it.
Do not keep the camera under the following conditions.
・ In wet, moist, high humidity or dusty place
・ Under direct sunlight
・ In extreme high or low temperature place
・ Near an object that releases a strong magnetic or electric filed
・ Place with strong vibrations
 Apply the power that satisfies the specified in specifications for the camera.
 The defective pixels may appear due to the sensor characteristics.
 Use below recommend materials (or equivalent materials) to clean the surface of glass.
・ Air dust: Non Freon air duster (NAKABAYASHI Co., LTD.)
・ Alcohol: Propan-2-ol (SAN’EI KAKO Co., LTD.)
・ Non-woven: nikowipe clean room (NKB)
 Use a soft cloth to clean the camera.
