Tips on outdoor shooting
If the subject is too bright when, for instance, shooting outdoors under a clear sky, adjust the
brightness either using the electronic shutter or the built-in ND filter.
Phenomena inherent to CCD cameras
Smear
Although this unit has extremely low smear characteristics, smear may arise when shooting an
extremely bright subject.
Flicker
Flickering may occur if fluorescent lights are used for the lighting. This is the case in areas
where the commercial power line frequency is 50 Hz or when a high shutter speed is used. To
prevent flicker, set the electronic shutter speed to 1/100 where the commercial power line
frequency is 50 Hz and to OFF where it is 60 Hz.
The following phenomena are known to arise in CCD cameras.
Moiré
Shooting a subject with striped patterns may give rise to the formation of Moiré patterns.
White streaks
White streaks may appear at high temperatures. They may be more conspicuous when the gain
has been increased.
Picture roughness
Roughness in a specific pattern may appear all over the screen when the temperature is
extremely high.
