Notes on the LCD screen and
lens

extremely high-precision technology, so over
99.99% of the pixels are operational for
effective use. However, some tiny black and/or
bright dots (white, red, blue or green) may
appear on the LCD screen. These dots are a
nonnal result of the manufacturing process, and
do not affect the recording.
• When the battery level becomes low, the lens
might stop moving. Insert new batteries or
charged Nickel-Metal Hydride batteries and turn
on the camera again.
