Make sure the cable on the camera board is locked in place. Make sure the cable is correctly inserted in the Raspberry Pi board's MIPI CSI-2 connector. Avoid high temperatures. Avoid water, moisture, or conductive surfaces while in operation. Avoid folding, or straining the flex cable. Avoid cross-threading with tripods. Gently push/pull the connector to avoid damaging the printed circuit board. Avoid moving or handling the printed circuit board excessively while it's in operation. Handle by the edges to avoid damages from electrostatic discharge. Where the camera board is stored should be cool and as dry as possible. Sudden temperature/humidity changes can cause dampness in the lens and affect the image/video quality. 6 Arducam ToF Camera for Raspberry Pi Raspberry Pi and the Raspberry Pi logo are trademarks of the Raspberry Pi Foundation www.arducam.com
