in this manual could void your authority to operate this equipment.  
This is related to the principle of 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)  
All interface cables used to connect peripherals must be shielded in order to  
comply with the limits for a digital device pursuant to Subpart B or Part 15 of  
FCC Rules.
