Characteristic CCD Phenomena Smear and blooming When shooting an extremely bright light source, vertical streaking (called "smear") may occur or expansion of light (called "blooming") may appear around it. This is a characteristic of the CCD and not a malfunction. Smear Vertical pale streaking appearing at high luminous object High luminous object (Electric light, sunlight, etc.) Blooming Monitor Screen Blurring in highlight Moire or aliasing Stripes, lines or other fine patterns may appear jagged when they are shot. White dots High temperatures can cause CCD sensor pixels to produce white dots in the image. This condition is conspicuous especially when gain is applied. This is a characteristic of the charged-coupled device (CCD). As far as possible, use this device under conditions where the temperature of this device does not increase. Characteristic Lens Phenomena When shooting an extremely bright light source, ghosting may occur. This is a characteristic of the lens and not a malfunction.
