INTRODUCTION
Precautions for Proper Use (Cont'd)
● When the unit is not in use, be sure to set the POWER switch to OFF in order to reduce power
consumption.
● Cleaning the camera body: Wipe the body with a dry, soft cloth. When it is extremely dirty, soak the
cloth in a solution of neutral detergent, wring it out and then wipe. To prevent deformation of the body,
etc. and to avoid operation hazards, do not allow volatile liquids such as benzene and thinner to contact
the body, and do not wipe it with a cloth soaked in such a liquid.
● The camera may be unstable for a few seconds immediately after the power is turned on, but this is not
a malfunction.
● The LCD screen and the viewfinder screen are manufactured using high-precision technology. Black
spots may appear on the LCD screen and the viewfinder screen, or red, blue, green and/or white spots
may not turn off. However, this is not a malfunction and these spots are not recorded on the tape.
● In the case of continued use for a long period of time, characters, etc. displayed on the viewfinder
screen may remain displayed on the screen temporarily. However, these indications are not recorded
on the tape. If the power is turned off, and you wait a little while before turning it on again, these
indications will not be displayed.
● Do not point the lens or viewfinder directly at the sun or other strong light source
• Eye damage could result.
• If the lens or viewfinder is left pointed at the sun, rays may collect inside the unit and cause
damage or a fire.
● When carrying the camera, be sure to hold the carrying handle. Holding the LCD door, lens or
