Mako U Technical Manual V1.1.3
Optical components
Image sensor
Image sensors are sensitive to excessive radiation: focused sunlight, lasers, and
X-rays can damage the sensor. Mako U cameras are not fitted with filter or
protection glass. Consider, when removing the lens or dust cap on these cameras,
the sensor is not protected against dirt or scratches.
Lenses
Provide the following conditions to keep dirt and droplets out of the optical system
of camera and lens:
•
Dust-free environment
•
Low relative humidity
•
No condensation
To keep dirt out of the lens mount, hold the camera with the lens mount facing the
ground. Keep filter and camera back lens clean, because dirt becomes more visible
the closer it gets to the sensor
