Extremely high precision technology is
employed to produce the LCD monitor
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 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.
∫ About the Lens

force.
• Do not leave the camera with the lens
facing the sun as rays of light from the sun
may cause it to malfunction. Also, be
careful when placing the camera outside
or near a window.
∫ Battery
The battery is a rechargeable lithium ion
battery. Its ability to generate power
comes from the chemical reaction that
takes place inside it. This reaction is
susceptible to the surrounding
temperature and humidity. If the
temperature is too high or too low, the
operating time of the battery will
become shorter.
Always remove the battery after use.
Store the removed battery in the battery
carrying case (supplied).
If you drop the battery accidentally,
check to see if the body of the battery
and the terminals are damaged.
• Inserting a damaged battery in the
camera will damage the camera.
