appear repeatedly even if execution is selected.
When this happens, format the SD card. All data
will be deleted.

We are not liable for any accidental loss of data
stored on the SD card. (Please back up any
important data.)
Make use of the SD card within the prescribed
conditions of use.
Do not use the SD card in places that are subject to direct
sunlight, high humidity or corrosion, places near thermal
equipment, or in a car under the sun with the doors and windows
closed.
Do not bend or drop the SD card, or subject it to
strong impact or vibration.
Do not splash the SD card with water.
Do not place the SD card near locations that are
exposed to strong magnetic fields or radio

Characteristic CCD Phenomena

Smear and blooming
When shooting an extremely bright light source, vertical
streaking (called "smear") may occur or expansion of light
(called "blooming") may appear around it. This is a
characteristic of the CCD and not a malfunction.
Smear
Vertical pale streaking appearing at
high luminous object
High luminous object
(Electric light, sunlight, etc.)
Blooming
Monitor Screen Blurring in highlight
Moire or aliasing
Stripes, lines or other fine patterns may appear jagged
when they are shot.
White dots
High temperatures can cause CCD sensor pixels to
produce white dots in the image. This condition is
conspicuous especially when gain is applied.
This is a characteristic of the charged-coupled device
(CCD). As far as possible, use this device under conditions
where the temperature of this device does not increase.
Characteristic Lens Phenomena
When shooting an extremely bright light source, ghosting
may occur. This is a characteristic of the lens and not a
malfunction.
