monitor and it may malfunction.

If the camera is cold when you turn it on, the picture on the LCD monitor/External Live
Viewfinder (optional) will be slightly darker than usual at first. However, the picture will return to
normal brightness when the internal temperature of the camera increases.
Extremely high precision technology is employed to produce the LCD monitor/External
Live Viewfinder (optional) screen. However, there may be some dark or bright spots
(red, blue or green) on the screen. This is not a malfunction. The LCD monitor/External
Live Viewfinder (optional) screen has more than 99.99% effective pixels with a mere
0.01% of the pixels inactive or always lit. The spots will not be recorded on pictures on
the built-in memory or a card.

Do not press against the lens with excessive force.

Do not leave the camera with the lens facing the sun, as rays of light from the sun may cause it
