PRECAUTIONS

About the camera’s backlight…

•The camera is equipped with a fluorescent light source to provide the back lighting for its LCD.

•The normal service life of the backlight is approximately six years, when the camera is used for about two hours a day.

•Should the LCD image appear abnormally dark, take the camera to your dealer or an authorized CASIO service pro- vider to have the light source replaced. Note that you will be charged for this replacement.

•Under very cold conditions, the backlight may require more time than normal to light, or reddish bands may appear in the displayed image. These conditions do not indicate mal- function, and normal operation should return at higher tem- peratures.

Monitor Screen

Recording

•The image shown on the monitor screen during recording is intended for composition purposes only, so its quality does not match that of the image as it is recorded. The image is recorded in accordance with the quality setting made with the procedure under “Quality Settings” on page E-53.

•A dimly lit subject can slow down monitor screen refresh or cause static in the displayed image.

Playback

This camera is designed for high-speed scrolling of images during playback. Because of this, the playback image that initially appears on the monitor screen does not show the full resolution of the image as recorded. When you stop at the image you want, the monitor screen refreshes and shows the image in its full resolution.
