Installation
Fitting the lens Fig. E
1 Remove the lens mount cap.
2 Screw in the lens (not supplied), and turn it until it is secured.
Note
Clean the optical filter with a commercially available blower brush to remove
dust.
Using a tripod Fig. F
To use the tripod, install the tripod adaptor VCT-ST70I (not supplied) on the
camera module.
Use a tripod screw with a protrusion (4) extending
from the installation surface, as follows:
ISO standard: Length 4.5 mm ±0.2 mm
ASA standard: Length 0.197 inches
Note
If you install a tripod adapter (not supplied), use the screws provided.
Connecting the camera cable Fig. G
Connect the IEEE1394 camera cable to the camera connector and the 1394
interface connector of your computer. When you connect the cable, press
the push button on the connector and insert the connector until it snaps into
place.

Typical CCD Phenomena
The following effects on the monitor screen are characteristic of CCD
cameras. They do not indicate any fault with the camera module.
Smear
This occurs when shooting a very bright object such as electric lighting, the
sun, or a strong reflection.
This phenomenon is caused by an electric charge induced by infrared
radiation deep in the photosensor. It appears as a vertical smear, since the
CCD imaging element uses an interline transfer system.
Vertical aliasing
When you shoot vertical stripes or lines, they may appear jagged.
White speckles
When you shoot a dark object at a high temperature, small white dots may
appear all over the image.
