-The LCD is a very delicate display device: Do not press its surface with force, hit it or prick it with a sharp object.

Liquid crystal display:

-The LCD screen of this product uses high precision technology. Among the total number of pixels (approx. 230,000 pixels for LCD screen), 0.01% or less pixels may be missing (black dots) or may remain lit as coloured dots (red, blue, green). This shows the limitations of the current technology, and does not indicate a fault that will interfere with recording.

-The LCD screen will be slightly dimmer than usual when the camcorder is at low temperature, as in cold areas, or immediately after power is turned on. Normal brightness will be restored when the temperature inside the camcorder rises. This has no effect on the images in the storage media, so there is no cause for concern.
