Do not drop the equipment or allow it to be subject to strong impact or vibration, as such action
may cause malfunctions. Further, do not damage the connection cable, since this may cause wire
breakage.
If your camera is used in a system where its connector is subjected to strong repetitive shocks, itsconnector is possible to break down. If you intend to use your camera in such a situation, if
possible, bundle and fix a cable in the place near the camera, and do not transmit a shock to theconnector.
⚫ Environmental operating conditions
Do not use the product in locations where the ambient temperature or humidity exceeds the
specifications.
Otherwise, image quality may be degraded or internal components may be adversely affected. In
particular, do not use the product in areas exposed to direct sunlight.
⚫ Combination of C-mount lens
Depending on the lens you use, the performance of the camera may not be brought out fully due tothe deterioration in resolution and brightness in the peripheral area, occurrence of a ghost, aberrationand others. When you check the combination between the lens and camera, be sure to use the lens
you actually use.
When installing a lens in the camera, make sure carefully that it is not tilted.
In addition, use a mounting screw free from defects and dirt. Otherwise, the camera may be unable
to be removed.
As for the C-mount lens used combining this product, the projection distance from bottom of thescrew should use 10mm or less.
C-mount lensBottom ofthe screw

10mm or less

⚫ Mounting to a pedestal
When mounting this product to a pedestal, make sure carefully that the lens doesn't touch with thepedestal.
⚫ Do not expose the camera’s image-pickup-plane to sunlight or other intense light directly.
Its inner CMOS sensor might be damaged.
⚫ Occurrence of moiré
If you shoot thin stripe patterns, moiré patterns (interference fringes) may appear. This is not a
malfunction.

https://www.toshiba-teli.co.jp/en/USAGE PRECAUTIONS⚫ Occurrence of noise on the screen
If an intense magnetic or electromagnetic field is generated near the camera or connection cable,
noise may be generated on the screen. If this occurs, move the camera or the cable.
⚫ Handling of the protective cap
If the camera is not in use, attach the lens cap to the camera to protect the image pickup surface.
⚫ If the equipment is not to be used for a long duration
Turn off power to the camera for safety.
⚫ Maintenance
Turn off power to the equipment and wipe it with a dry cloth.
If it becomes severely contaminated, gently wipe the affected areas with a soft cloth dampened
with diluted neutral detergent. Never use alcohol, benzene, thinner, or other chemicals becausesuch chemicals may damage or discolor the paint and indications.
If the image pickup surface becomes dusty, contaminated, or scratched, consult your sales
representative.
⚫ Disposal
When disposing of the camera, it may be necessary to disassemble it into separate parts, inaccordance with the laws and regulations of your country and/or municipality concerning
environmental contamination.

“This symbol is applicable for EU member states only”[Phenomena specific to CMOS sensor]⚫

Defective pixels

A CMOS image sensor is composed of photo sensor pixels in a square grid array. Due tothe characteristics of CMOS image sensors, over- or under-driving of the pixels results in
temporary white or black areas (as if these are noises) appearing on the screen. Thisphenomenon, which is not a defect is exacerbated under higher temperatures and longexposure time.
⚫

Image shading
The brightness of the upper part of the screen may be different from that of the lower part.
Note that this is a characteristic of a CMOS image sensor and is not a fault.

2.12 Optical Glass
Color models have built in optical glass.
Suffix of [G] attached to the model name indicates built-in optical glass model. (e.g. BG040MCG)
2.13 IR-cut filter
Build-in IR-cut filter models are optional for color models.
Suffix [F] is attached to the model name of built-in IR-cut filter model. (e.g. BG040MCF)* Suffix [F] is not shown in the common part of specifications.

later.
5.1.2 AGC
The camera gain is automatically adjusted to suit subject brightness.
Range of gain setting at AGC mode is 0 to +24dB.
Notes on gain setting:Setting the gain value too high increases noises. When you adjust the brightness of the image, we
ask you to have final image quality checked with your environment.
5.2

Black Level

Black level is adjustable from -25% to +25% as white saturation level is 100%.
5.3

Gamma

Gamma correction curve is adjustable from 0.45 to 1.00.

GigEVision Packet Resend feature is supported.
5.6

Exposure Time

Manual exposure time and automatic exposure time control (AE) are available
5.6.1

ManualExposure time is adjustable by micro-second unit. Firmware Ver.3.5.0 or later models have
ShortExposureMode.
By setting the ShortExposureMode to enable (ON), high-speed exposure time setting from1.08μs to 13.31μs is possible.
5.6.2

https://www.toshiba-teli.co.jp/en/Notes on ShortExposureMode setting:- If you use ShortExposureMode, the image quality may deteriorate. Also, the actual exposure time
may vary depending on the individual differences and the operating environment (such as theoperating temperature). When using the ShortExposureMode, we ask you to have final image
quality checked with your environment.
- The brightness of the upper part of the screen may be different from that of the lower part. Note that
this is a characteristic of a CMOS image sensor and is not a fault.
5.7

White balance

Color models have two white balance modes, manual white balance (MWB) and one-push auto whitebalance (OPWB). Select the mode to suit the subject and purpose.
5.7.1

MWB

R/B gain can be set independently.
5.7.2

OPWB

When OPWB is executed, the camera adjusts R/B gain automatically.
