Typical Ccd Phenomena - Sony SSC-CR512 Manual De Instrucciones

Typical CCD Phenomena

The following phenomena may appear on the monitor
screen while you are using the SSC-CR512/512P/712/
712P color video camera.
These phenomena stem from the high sensitivity of the
CCD image sensors, and do not indicate a fault within
the camera.
Vertical smear
A "smear" may appear to extend vertically from very
bright subjects, as shown below.
Video monitor
screen
This phenomenon is common to CCD imaging
elements using an interline transfer system, and is
caused when electric charge induced by infrared
radiation deep within the photo sensor is transferred to
the resistors.
Aliasing
When shooting fine stripes, straight lines or similar
patterns, the lines may become slightly jagged.
Blemishes
A CCD image sensor consists of an array of individual
picture elements (pixels). A malfunctioning sensor
element will show up as a single pixel blemish in the
image. This is generally not a problem.
White speckles
When you shoot a poorly illuminated object at a high
temperature, small white dots may appear all over the
entire screen image.
Pale vertical
smear
Very bright
subject (such as
an electric lamp,
fluorescent lamp,
sunlight, or strong
reflected light)
