In order to prevent damage to the camera and to keep the CMOS sensor clean, please take the
following precautions.
Always keep the sensor cap in place as long as no lens is attached.
•
Remove the lens cap just before the lens is screwed on the camera. It is advised to perform this
•
operation in a clean room or clean bench.
Never touch the CMOS sensor surface. The cover glass is easily damaged and the CMOS sensor
•
can be damaged by ESD (electrostatic discharge).
Cleaning of the CMOS sensor
2.2.2.
Cleaning of a CMOS sensor is a rather difficult task. Depending on the aperture of the lens used, any
dust particles with a size of 10 µm and larger can show up in your image.
All cameras are checked for cleanliness in our factory before shipment. Proper handling instructions
during system assembly can prevent the CMOS sensor from getting contaminated.
Should cleaning of the CMOS sensor be necessary follow the instruction below.
NOTE:
that damage of the CMOS sensor due to scratches on the cover glass or electrostatic
discharge (ESD) is not covered by warranty!
The correct working environment for cleaning is essential in order to ease cleaning and to prevent
damage of the CMOS sensor.
