Shoot under the proper lighting conditions.To produce pictures with eye-pleasing colors, shoot under theproper lighting conditions.The pictures may not appear with their proper colors when shootingunder fluorescent lights. Select the proper lighting as required. To ensure a stable performance in the longtermUsing the unit for prolonged periods in locations where thetemperature and humidity levels are high will cause its partsto deteriorate, resulting in a reduction of its service life.(Recommended temperature: Max. 35°C [95°F])Ensure that a cooling unit or heating unit will not blow any airdirectly toward the installation location. Do not point the camera atstrong lights.When parts of the MOS sensor areexposed to spotlights or other stronglights, blooming (a phenomenon wherethe edges of strong lights becomeblurred) may occur.Bright subjectBlooming What happens with high‑brightness subjectsFlare may occur if an extremely bright light source is pointed atthe lens. In a case like this, change the angle or take some otherremedial action. Operating temperature rangeAvoid using the unit in cold locations where the temperature dropsbelow 0°C (32°F) or hot locations where the temperature risesabove 40°C (104°F) since these temperatures downgrade thepicture quality and adversely affect the internal parts.Furthermore, it may take a few minutes for images to stabilize whenthe unit is used at low temperatures. We recommend turning theunit on to let it warm up for a while before use. Concerning PoE power supplyThe unit complies with the IEEE802.3af standard. Use a compatibleEthernet hub and PoE injector to use a PoE power supply.For details on Ethernet hubs and PoE injectors for which operationshave been verified, consult your local dealer.

When the unit is not in useTurn off the unit when it will not be used.When the unit is no longer going to be used, do not leave it lyingaround, but be absolutely sure to dispose of it properly. Do not touch the optical system parts.The optical system parts are vital to the operation of the camera.Under no circumstances must they be touched. In the unlikely eventthat they have become dusty, remove the dust by using a camerablower or by wiping them gently with a lens cleaning paper. Do not point the camera directly at the sun or alaser beam no matter whether it is turned on ornot.Taking images of the sun, laser beams, or other brightly lit subjectsfor prolonged periods of time may damage the MOS sensor. Do not use for long periods of time.Use for long periods of time may cause heat to build up inside,resulting in a failure. Personal computer usedIf the same image is displayed for a prolonged period on a PCmonitor, the monitor may be damaged. Use of a screen saver isrecommended. Concerning the IP address settingDo not use Easy IP Setup Software on multiple personal computersto set the IP address for one camera at the same time.Doing so may result in no longer knowing what IP address is set. Keep the unit away from water.Avoid all direct contact with water. Failure to obey may cause theunit to malfunction. MaintenanceTurn off the unit’s power before proceeding with maintenance.Failure to obey may result in injuries.Wipe the surfaces using a soft dry cloth. Avoid all contact withbenzine, paint thinners and other volatile substances, and avoidusing these substances. Otherwise, the casing may becomediscolored. Use the unit in an environment with minimalmoisture and dust.Avoid using the unit in an environment with high concentration ofmoisture or dust since these conditions will damage the internalparts. Disposal of the unitWhen the unit has reached the end of its service life and is to bedisposed of, ask a qualified contractor to dispose of the unit properlyin order to protect the environment.Operating precautions Information on software used with this productThis product includes GNU General Public License (GPL) and GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL) licensed software, and the customer isentitled to obtain, modify, or redistribute the source code for the software.For details on obtaining the source codes, visit the following website.http://pro-av.panasonic.net/However, do not contact Panasonic for questions regarding obtained source codes.28
