Shoot under the proper lighting conditions.
To produce pictures with eye-pleasing colors, shoot under the proper lighting conditions.
The pictures may not appear with their proper colors when shooting under fluorescent lights. 
Select the proper lighting as required.
To ensure a stable performance in the long term
Using the unit for prolonged periods in locations where the temperature and humidity levels 
are high will cause its parts to deteriorate, resulting in a reduction of its service life.
(Recommended temperature: Max. 35 oC (95 °F))
Ensure that a cooling unit or heating unit will not blow any air directly toward the installation 
location.
Do not point the camera at strong lights.
When parts of the MOS sensor are exposed to spotlights or other strong lights, blooming (a 
phenomenon where the edges of strong lights become blurred) may occur.
What happens with high-brightness subjects
Flare may occur if an extremely bright light source is pointed at the lens. In a case like this, 
change the angle or take some other remedial action.
Operating temperature range
Avoid using the unit in cold locations where the temperature drops below 0 oC (32 °F) or hot 
locations where the temperature rises above 40 oC (104 °F) since these temperatures 
downgrade the picture quality and adversely affect the internal parts.
Also, it may take a few minutes to stabilize the image when used in low temperatures. We 
recommend that you turn on this unit before use.
Concerning the HDMI interface standard
This unit has been certified as HDMI-compatible, but on rare occasions images may not be 
displayed depending on the HDMI device which has been connected to the unit.
Color bars
Color bars are used to adjust the color phase, and the widths and positions of these bars 
may differ from other models.
Turn off the power before connecting or disconnecting the cables.
Always be sure to turn off the power before connecting or disconnecting the cables.
Handle the unit carefully.
Do not drop the unit or subject it to strong impact or vibration. Doing so may cause the unit to 
malfunction.
When the unit is not in use
Turn off the unit’s power when it is not in use.
When the unit is no longer going to be used, do not leave it lying around, but be absolutely 
sure to dispose of it properly.
