LCD Monitor

•The LCD monitor is made from reinforced glass, but it may break if subjected to severe impacts. Please read the Safety Precautions carefully (p. 9). In case the glass breaks, exercise adequate caution so as not to injure yourself on any broken fragments.

•The LCD monitor is produced with extremely high-precision manufacturing techniques. More than 99.99% of the pixels operate to specification, but occasionally non-performing pixels may appear as bright or dark dots. This is not a malfunction and has no effect on the recorded image.

•The LCD monitor may be covered with a thin plastic film for protection against scratches during shipment. If so, remove the film before using the camera.
