Operating in 8-bit and 14-bit mode, the cameras ensure very high quality
images under almost all circumstances. The Pike is equipped with an asyn-
chronous trigger shutter as well as true partial scan, and integrates numerous
useful and intelligent Smart Features for image processing.

Note
L
•All color models are equipped with an optical filter to
eliminate the influence of infrared light hitting the
sensor. Please be advised that, as a side effect, this fil-
ter reduces sensitivity in the visible spectrum. The opti-
cal filter is part of the back focus ring, which is
threaded into the C-Mount.
• B/w models come with a sensor protection glass
mounted in the back focus ring.
• Changing filters is achieved by changing back focus
rings with the appropriate filter already mounted.
Please be advised that back focus adjustment will be
necessary in order to match C-Mount distance of
17.526 mm after changing back focus ring. Ask your
dealer for further information or assistance.
Warning
a
Mount/dismount lenses and filters in a dust-free environ-
ment, and do not use compressed air (which can push dust
into cameras and lenses).
Use only optical quality tissue/cloth if you must clean a
lens or filter.
