Hi guys.
I just got a Cairns Viper, now I have a few questions about it...
Q1. It close/open the shutter 4 cycles on every power on, is it normal?
Q2. It works well until it heat up, here's the time line in my test:
Start up.
~1 min: First NUC after boot, begin to show slight white pixels.
~8 min: The right side of the image begin to darken to a noticeable level(and growing).
~25 min: While the shadow becoming darker and wider, there begin to have white line on the right edge(FFC want to correct that)(growing thicker with each shutter action).
~41 min: I power cycled the device and the picture is very foggy, until the next NUC.
~56 min: The high-temperature warning icon shows up(see pic 1).
~1h 5 min: The black shadow and white area become much thicker(shadow is also darker), the temperature bar become full(1000 F)(see pic2)
~1h 11 min: Battery died.
There are also some other random behavior when over heating:
a. Sometimes the temperature bar shows 300 F(see pic 3).
b. Sometimes when power on while hot, there's a red symbol next to the battery, in this mode, the shutter will never trigger(see pic 4).
When I take out the "super cool" metal block, it's super hot. Is that a normal thing for old TICs? My friend's BST camera doesn't seem to have this problem.
Q3. What's the red symbol in pic4 means?
Thank you!
