[Precautions for use]
To keep on using with stable performance
Do not use this product in hot and humid con-
ditions for a long time.
Failure to observe this causes component deg-
radation resulting in life shortening of this prod-
uct.
Do not expose this product to direct heat
sources such as a heater.
Handle this product with care.
Do not drop this product, nor apply shock or
vibration to the product.
Failure to observe this may cause trouble.
If a strong shock or vibration is applied to the
enclosure, it may cause damage to this prod-
uct.
About the battery
A battery is installed inside the camera. Do not
leave the battery exposed in environments of
excessive heat as a result of sunlight or fire.
The capacity of the battery is reduced each
time it is used. In particular, recharging or using
the battery in high-temperature locations
increases deterioration.
Do not touch the lens with your bare
hands.
A dirty lens causes deterioration of picture
quality.
When an error is detected, this product
will restart automatically.
This product will be inoperable for around 1
minute after the restart just as when the power
is turned on.
Periodically images on the screen appear
to be distorted
When the camera is installed in a location
where it is subject to small vibrations (for
example, when it is installed near devices that
vibrate), images may appear distorted and
stretched lengthways.
This phenomenon is a characteristic of image
pickup devices that use MOS sensors and is
caused by the relationship between the peri-
odic movements of the camera and the timing
that the image sensor reads images. This is not
a problem with the camera.
About internal memory card
The internal memory card is consumables:
Replace it in accordance with their operating
lifetimes. It's operating lifetimes vary depending
on the usage environment and conditions.
Make sure to contact a service engineer when
replacing the internal memory card.
About the MOS image sensor
• When continuously shooting a bright light
source such as a spotlight, the color filter
of the MOS image sensor may become
deteriorated and this may cause discolor-
ation.
Even when changing the fixed shooting
direction after continuously shooting a
spotlight for a certain period, the discolor-
ation may remain.
• When shooting fast-moving subjects or
objects crossing the shooting area may
look to be bending askew.
About the built-in microphone
• If moisture attach to the peristome of buil-
tin microphone, the volume may decrease.
Please leave it to air dry sufficiently before
use.
• When cleaning the peristome of built-in
microphone, do not use any sharp-ended
object to stab it. Doing so may result in
failure.
