I have brought cameras up to the instruments in my facility many times and never seen any effects on the image/sensor. However, I never went above or below the bore and that is where the strongest fringing fields are present. Sorry to hear about your sample changer problems. I do not have any JEOL equipment so I have no advice other than to say that samples changers on these things can be a PIA.
