u Caution
• When performing a calibration, be careful not to drop the
camera. Wrap the strap around your wrist or take other
preventive measures.
• If the battery is removed, perform a calibration again after the
battery is put back in.
• As the magnetic field environment varies depending on the
shooting location, a precise calibration must be performed at
each location when shooting images of celestial bodies with
ASTROTRACER.
• Changing the lens or the angle of the monitor after performing
a calibration may have some effect on the magnetic field
environment. In this case, perform a calibration again.
