White flecks
Although the CCD image sensors are produced with high-precision technologies,
fine white flecks may be generated on the screen in rare cases, caused by cosmic
rays, etc.
This is related to the principle of CCD image sensors and is not a malfunction.
The white flecks especially tend to be seen in the following cases:
- when operating at a high environmental temperature
- when you have raised the gain (sensitivity)
- when using the slow shutter
