Operating Precautions
To save energy, be sure to turn off the
system when not in use.
This camera has been designed for indoor
use. It cannot be used outdoors.
This camera has been designed
exclusively to be hung from the ceiling. It
may malfunction if it is placed standing
on a surface or if it is installed in a tilted
position.
Do not install or use the camera in the
following places.
In a place exposed to rain or water.
In a place with vapor or oil soot, for
example in a kitchen.
Where the temperature is outside the
allowed operating temperature range
(10°C to 50°C).
Near a source of radiation, X-rays,
strong radio waves or magnetism.
In a place subjected to vibrations.
In a place with excessive dirt.
The camera incorporates an AGC circuit.
When it is used under low light conditions,
the camera sensitivity is automatically
boosted and the picture may look grainy.
This is not a malfunction.
Use the ATW (auto-tracking white
balance) mode when the camera is used
under fluorescent lighting. If set to
MANUAL, the correct white balance may
not be accomplished.
When this camera is used in the ATW
(auto-tracking white balance) mode, the
recorded colors may be slightly different
from the actual colors due to the
operational principles of the auto-tracking
white balance circuit. This is not a
malfunction.
If a high-intensity object (such as a lamp)
is shot, the image on the screen may have
vertical lines (smear) or blur (blooming)
at its periphery. This is a characteristic of
the CCD; and it is not a defect.
The camera’s electronic shutter is set to
1/60 s when shipped from the factory.
When the camera is used under
fluorescent lighting in an area with a local
power frequency of 50 Hz, please set the
shutter to 1/100 s on remote control unit.
(Sensitivity will decrease slightly at the 1/
100 s setting.)
When dirt adheres to the dome cover, the
image will be difficult to see. Be sure to
clean the lens and the dome cover
periodically. Use a soft cloth for cleaning.
Do not use thinner, benzene, etc. If very
soiled, soak the cloth in a neutral
detergent diluted with water and wipe
clean. Then wipe with a dry cloth.
Precautions for use with the RM-P2580
Focus (including AF) cannot be used.
