If the power supply isinsufficient, use the stable power with less ripple or noise.Foreign bodiesBe careful not to spill liquids, or drop any flammable or metal objects in thecamera body.Locations for operation and storageAvoid operation or storage in the following places.Extremely hot or cold locations. Recommended temperature range is 0°C to40°C (32°F to 104°F)Locations subject to strong vibration or shockNear generators of strong electromagnetic radiation such as TV or radiotransmittersCareUse a blower to remove dust from the surface of the lens or optical filter. Cleanthe exterior with a soft, dry cloth.If the camera is very grimy, apply a cloth soaked in a mild detergent then wipewith a dry cloth. Do not apply organic solvents such as alcohol which maydamage the finish.Data and securityYou should keep in mind that the images or audio you are monitoring may beprotected by privacy and other legal rights, and the responsibility for makingsure you are complying with applicable laws is yours alone.OSThis camera does not support any OS as the factory setup.

As square pixels are adopted, images can be processedusing the original aspect ratio without conversion procedure.Electronic shutter functionShutter speed can be selected from among a variety of available speeds.External trigger shutter function (2 to 1/50,000 sec.)You can obtain a freeze frame by inputting an external trigger signal. Thisfunction is useful for shooting a fast-moving object clearly.Partial scanThe camera module can limit the effective video output area to achieve highframe rates, enabling high-speed image processing.Binning (XCI-SX100/V100 only)By binning two pixels that align vertically or horizontally, you can acquire aframe rate twice that of the normal mode vertically, and sensitivity twice that ofthe normal mode vertically and horizontally.High-resolution images (XCI-SX100C/V100C only)XCI-SX100C/V100C has a color interpolation algorithm that produces high-resolution images.Auto irisWith the lens-control signal output from the 6-pin auto iris port, the cameramodule can control a connected DC iris lens. If you remove the C-mountadaptor, the camera module can support a CS-mount DC iris lens.Built-in processorx86 CPU512 MB DDR2-SDRAMPC standard input/output interfaceLAN connectorVGA monitor, analog RGB outputHi-speed USB connectorBody fixingFour screw holes to be used to install the camera are provided both on the topand the bottom of the camera.
