When the camera is used under fluorescent lights, sodium lights, mercury
lights etc., the lights and the illuminated areas may appear to flicker.
In the following cases, it may become dif-
ficult to see the images on the screen,
even when the system is functioning cor-
rectly.
l The vehicle is in a dark area, such
as at night.
l The temperature near the lens is
extremely high or low.
l Water droplets are on the camera
lens or humidity is high, such as
when it rains.
l Foreign matter, such as snow or
mud, adheres to the camera lens.
l The sun or headlights are shining
directly into the camera lens.
l A bright object such as a white wall
is reflected in the mirror surface
over the monitor.
l The camera has scratches or dirt on
it.
If a bright light, such as sunlight
reflected off the vehicle body, is picked
up by the camera, a smear effect* char-
acteristic to the camera may occur.
*: Smear effect
: A phenomenon that
occurs when a bright light is picked
up by the camera; when transmitted
by the camera, the light source
appears to have a vertical streak
above and below it.
