To avoid sensor damage

• Use external shutter
• Use optical filters
• Use lens cap (when camera not in use)
• Vary local light spot / laser spot on sensor
• X-rays:
– Keep camera out of X-ray path. Guide light source via
mirrors to the sensor

The warranty does not cover damaged cameras caused by
X-ray applications or too much light/laser light.
Caution

• Mount/dismount lenses and filters in a dust-free envi-
ronment, and do not use compressed air (which can push
dust into cameras and lenses).
• Use only optical quality tissue/cloth if you must clean a
lens or filter.
Ask your dealer if you are not familiar with these procedures.
