Keep optical components clean
The best way to ensure the camera remains clean is to avoid penetration of foreign
substances into the camera.
When screwing/unscrewing the camera lens or dust cap, hold the camera with the
mount opening towards the floor. This minimizes the possibility of any
contaminants falling on the glass surface. Always store cameras and lenses with
dust-caps on.
Important instructions to be read first
Please read these instructions before you contact Allied Vision or your Allied Vision
camera distributor for assistance.
