Notes on attaching the lens
Usage Precautions
AP-3200T-
PMCL
Notes on Camera Link cable connections
Secure the locking screws on the connector manually, and do not
use a driver. Do not secure the screws too tightly. Doing so may
wear down the screw threads on the camera. (Tightening torque:
0.291±0.049 N·m or less)
Secure manually.
Do not secure too tightly.
Notes on cable configurations
The presence of lighting equipment and television receivers nearby may result in video noise.
In such cases, change the cable configurations or placement.
Avoiding dust particles
When attaching the lens to the camera, stray dust and other particles may adhere to the
sensor surface and rear surface of the lens. Be careful of the following when attaching the
lens.
• Work in a clean environment.
• Do not remove the caps from the camera and lens until immediately before you attach the
lens.
• To prevent dust from adhering to surfaces, point the camera and lens downward and do not
allow the lens surface to come into contact with your hands or other objects.
• Always use a blower brush to remove any dust that adheres.
Never use your hands or cloth, blow with your mouth, or use other methods to remove
dust.
Phenomena specific to CMOS image sensors
The following phenomena are known to occur on cameras equipped with CMOS image
sensors. These do not indicate malfunctions.
•
Aliasing
When shooting straight lines, stripes, and similar patterns, vertical aliasing (zigzag
distortion) may appear on the monitor.
•
Blooming
When strong light enters the camera, some pixels on the CMOS image sensor may receive
much more light than they are designed to hold, causing the accumulated signal charge to
overflow into surrounding pixels.
This “blooming” phenomenon can be seen in the image, but does not affect the operation of
the camera.
•
Fixed pattern noise
When shooting dark objects in high-temperature conditions, fixed pattern noise may occur
throughout the entire video monitor screen.
•
Defective pixels
Defective pixels (white and black pixels) of the CMOS image sensor are minimized at the
factory according to shipping standards. However, as this phenomenon can be affected by
the ambient temperature, camera settings (e.g., high sensitivity and long exposure), and
other factors, be sure to operate within the camera’s specified operating environment.
