Handling Precautions; Characteristics Of Ccds Oo - JVC KY-F55 Bedienungsanleitung

Handling Precautions
Supply voltage
Make sure that the power is between 10.5 V and 15 V DC.
If the power voltage is too low, abnormal colour and in-
creased noise could occur. Do not exceed 15 V DC in any
case, or the unit could be damaged.
Ambient temperature
Do not operate the camera outside a —5°C to +40°C (23°F
to 104°F) temperature range.
Where there are strong electromagnetic waves or magnet-
ism, for example near a radio or TV transmitter, trans-
former, motor, etc., the picture may contain noise and the
colours may be incorrect.
When a wireless microphone or wireless microphone tuner
is used near the camera, the tuner could pick up noise. In
such a case, select another channel.
Cleaning the body
Wipe body with a dry, soft cloth (such as cheesecloth).
When it is extremely dirty, soak the cloth in a solution of
neutral detergent, wring it out and then wipe.
To prevent deformation of the body, etc. and to avoid
operation hazards, do not allow volatile liquids such as
benzine and thinner to touch the body, and do not wipe it
with a cloth soaked in such a liquid.
If the quipment is soiled with water, oil, solvent, etc., wipe
over with soft cloth or cotton first, then clean with gauze,
etc. soaked in denatured alcohol.
Characteristics of CCDs
The appearance of the following phenomena on pictures is
due to the characteristics of CCD image sensors. These are
not malfunctions.
CCD Smear and blooming
Due to the physical structure of the CCDs in this camera it
is possible to induce vertical streaking or smear when
shooting an extremely bright light source.
Another effect is the expansion of light around a bright light
or object called Blooming.
Just as you protect your image against lens flare (internal
lens reflections); please be careful when shooting a bright
light source.

Moire or Aliasing
Shooting stripes, checks, or other alternating patterns may
cause jagged or banding in fine mesh patterns.
White dots
White dots may appear on the screen when the camera is
operated in a high-temperature environment.
