About the LCD and viewfinder screen: The screens are produced using |
|
extremely | E |
the pixels operating to specification. Less than 0.01% of the pixels may | |
occasionally misfire or appear as black, red, blue or green dots. This has no |
|
effect on the recorded image and does not constitute a malfunction. |
|
When using a tripod: Do not leave the viewfinder |
|
exposed to direct sunlight as it may melt (due to |
|
concentration of the light by the lens). Do not use tripods |
|
with fastening screws longer than 5.5 mm (0.2 inch). |
|
Doing so may damage the camcorder. |
