Avoiding the necessity of camera cleaning
When changing camera lenses please follow these procedures:
•
Simply hold the camera with the C-mount opening towards the floor, when
removing the dust-cap or changing the lens:
•
Thread the lens onto the camera while holding the camera in this position.
This will minimize the possibility of any contaminants falling on the glass
surface.
•
Always store cameras and lenses with dust-caps installed.
Caution-ESD
ESD warnings
Image sensors are easily damaged by static discharge (ESD).
•
Please use anti-static gloves, clothes and materials. Also
use conductive shoes.
•
Install a conductive mat on the floor and/or working
table to prevent the generation of static electricity.
