•Do not apply pressure to the monitor, as this could cause damage or malfunction. Dust or lint adhering to the monitor can be removed with a blower brush. Stains can be removed by rubbing the surface lightly with a soft cloth or chamois leather.

prevent the liquid crystal from the monitor touching the skin or entering the eyes or mouth.
• Replace the monitor cover when transporting the camera or leaving it unattended.
•Do not touch the battery terminals with other metal objects. Keep the battery terminals clean.
