Overview
FCB-EH6500(GB) A-EEP-100-11(1)
Software
Use of the demonstration software developed by Sony
Corporation or use of the software with customer
developed application software may damage hardware,
the application program or the camera. Sony Corporation
is not liable for any damages under these conditions.
Operation
Start the camera control software on your computer
after you turn on the camera and the image is displayed.
Operation and storage locations
Do not shoot images that are extremely bright (e.g.,
light sources, the sun, etc.) for long periods of time. Do
not use or store the camera in the following extreme
conditions:
• Extremely hot or cold places (operating temperature
–5 ˚C to +60 ˚C (23 ˚F to 140 ˚F))
• Close to generators of powerful electromagnetic
radiation such as radio or TV transmitters
• Where it is subject to fluorescent light reflections
• Where it is subject to unstable (flickering, etc.)
lighting conditions
• Where it is subject to strong vibration
• Where it is subject to radiation from laser beams
Care of the unit
Remove dust or dirt on the surface of the lens with a
blower (commercially available).
Other
• Design and specifications are subject to change
without notice.
• Do not apply excessive voltage. (Use only the specified
voltage.) Otherwise, you may get an electric shock or
a fire may occur.
• The CMOS image sensor and IC included in this
camera may break if exposed to static electricity.
When directly handling this camera, wear an
antistatic strap, spread a conductive sheet or similar
item under your workbench, and take measures to
eliminate static electricity.
Precautions
• In case of abnormal operation, contact your
authorized Sony dealer or the store where you
purchased the product.
Phenomena specific to CMOS image sensors
The following phenomena that may appear in images
are specific to CMOS image sensors. They do not
indicate malfunctions.
Rolling shutter
As CMOS image sensors use shutters that capture
images line-by-line, there is a slight time difference
between the top and bottom of an image. As a result,
images may appear skewed if the camera is moved.
White flecks
Although the CMOS image sensors are produced with
high-precision technologies, fine white flecks may be
generated on the screen in rare cases, caused by cosmic
rays, etc.
This is related to the principle of CMOS image sensors
and is not a malfunction.
The white flecks especially tend to be seen in the
following cases:
• when operating at a high environmental temperature
• when you have raised the master gain (sensitivity)
• when operating in Slow-Shutter mode
Aliasing
When fine patterns, stripes, or lines are shot, they may
appear jagged or flicker.
Phenomena Specific to Lenses
Ghosting
If a strong light source (e.g., the sun) exists near the
incidence angle of the lens, bright spots may appear in
the image due to diffuse reflection within the lens.
