Extremely high precision technology is employed to produce
the Viewfinder screen featuring a total of approximately
113,000 pixels. The result is more than 99.99% effective
pixels with a mere 0.01% of the pixels inactive or always lit.
However, this is not a malfunction and does not affect the
recorded picture.

≥Do not attach other conversion lenses in front of the Lens
Hood; there is no mount to be used for the attachment.

(VW-LT3014E; optional), Wide Conversion Lens
(VW-LW3007E; optional), MC Protector (VW-LMC30E;
optional), or ND Filter (VW-LND30E; optional), first of all,
turn the Lens Hood counterclockwise. If the MC Protector
or ND Filter is used, the Lens Hood can be mounted on the
filter.
≥If you push the [W/T] Lever toward [W] during recording
with the filter or conversion lens attached to the Movie
Camera, 4 corners of the image may become dark
(vignetting). For details, please refer to the operating
instructions of your accessories.
≥Be sure to keep the Lens Hood attached to the Movie
Camera so as to shut out unnecessary light.
