5. Install a lens, power up the camera, set the lens at a small aperture (F16) and point the lens at a bright
source. Adjust gain and integration time if necessary.
6. Check the image on the monitor for dark spots and stripes caused by contamination on the CMOS
sensor cover glass. (Note that the image on the monitor should not saturate due to overexposure - if
necessary close the iris even further).
If the CMOS sensor is not clean, repeat steps 2 - 6 using a new Q-tip. After three unsuccessful tries, it is advised
to wait a few minutes before a new attempt is made. The waiting time allows the electric charge that has been
built up during cleaning to neutralize.
