Notes regarding ‘Record’ or ‘Playback’ using the LCD

1. The LCD display has been manufactured using high precision tech- nology. However, there may be tiny dots (red, blue or green in colour) that appear on the LCD display.

These dots are normal and do not affect the recorded picture in any way.

2. When you use the LCD display under direct sunlight or outdoors, it maybe difficult to see the picture clearly.

If this occurs, we recommend using the viewfinder.
