Handling Precautions

LCD Monitor

Although the LCD monitor is manufactured with very high precision technology with over 99.99% effective pixels, there may be a few dead pixels among the remaining 0.01% or less pixels. Dead pixels displaying only black or red, etc., are not a malfunction. They do not affect the images recorded. If the LCD monitor is left on for a prolonged period with the same screen displayed, screen burn-in may occur where you see remnants of what was displayed. However, this is only temporary and will disappear when the camera is left unused for a few days.

The LCD monitor display may seem slow in low temperatures, or look black in high temperatures. It will return to normal at room temperature.

After changing the LCD monitor’s brightness settings, the display may look a little coarse, depending on the subject. This is not a malfunction and will not affect the recorded image.

Cards

To protect the card and its recorded data, note the following:

Do not drop, bend, or wet the card. Do not subject it to excessive force, physical shock, or vibration.

Do not touch the card’s electronic contacts with your fingers or anything metallic.

Do not affix any stickers, etc., on the card.

Do not store or use the card near anything having a strong magnetic field such as a TV set, speakers, or magnet. Also avoid places prone to having static electricity.

Do not leave the card in direct sunlight or near a heat source. Store the card in a case.

Do not store the card in hot, dusty, or humid locations.
