About the Monitor
•
Do not press the monitor with excessive force. Uneven colours may appear on the monitor and
it may malfunction.
•
If the camera is cold when you turn it on, the picture on the Monitor will be slightly darker than
usual at first. However, the picture will return to normal brightness when the internal
temperature of the camera increases.
Extremely high precision technology is employed to produce the Monitor
screen. However there may be some dark or bright spots (red, blue or green) on
the screen. This is not a malfunction. Though the Monitor screen parts are
produced with highly controlled precision technology, some pixels may be
inactive or always lit. The spots will not be recorded on pictures on a card.
About the Lens
•
Do not press the lens with excessive 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.
• When there is dirt (water, oil, and fingerprints, etc.) on the surface of the lens, the picture may
be affected. Lightly wipe the surface of the lens with a soft, dry cloth before and after taking
pictures.
•
Do not place the lens mount facing downwards. Do not allow the lens
mount contacts A to become dirty.
