Pixel mapping – Checking the image processing functions

image processing functions. After using the monitor or taking continuous shots, wait for at least
one minute before using the pixel mapping function to ensure that it operates correctly.

Notes
•
Be careful not to let the mechanical blower (commercially available) touch the image
pickup device. If the blower touches the image pickup device, the image pickup device will
be damaged.
•
Never put the mechanical blower behind the lens mount. If the power turns off, the shutter
closes, breaking the shutter curtain.
•
Do not use anything other than the mechanical blower. If high-pressure gas is sprayed
onto the image pickup device, it will freeze on the image pickup device’s surface,
damaging the image pickup device.
