Precautions regarding the monitor
• Do not apply excessive pressure to the monitor. This may cause smears, prevent pictures from
being played back properly, or damage the monitor. Should the monitor break, avoid getting
any of the liquid crystal in your mouth. If it gets on your hands or feet or on your clothing,
wash it off immediately with soap and water.
• Lines, like strips of light, may appear at the top or bottom of the monitor. This is not a
malfunction.
• When photographing an oblique subject, the subject may appear on the monitor with ragged
edges. This is not a malfunction. The ragged edges will disappear when the picture is played
back.
• In general, the lower the temperature, the longer it takes the monitor to turn on. Pictures may
also appear temporarily discolored. Keep the camera warm when taking pictures in a cold
region. Performance of the monitor may deteriorate in low temperatures, but will be restored
when the camera is returned to normal temperatures.
• The latest high precision technology has gone into the making of the camera's monitor,
but there are some pixels which are permanently lit or which do not light at all. These
pixels do not affect the recorded picture. Also, depending on the angle at which the
monitor is viewed, the colors and brightness may appear uneven. This is due to the
structure of the monitor and is not a malfunction.
