Technical Notes
Do not apply pressure to the monitor, as this could cause damage or malfunction. Dust or lint on the displays can be removed with a blower. Stains can be removed by wiping lightly with a soft cloth or chamois leather. Should the monitor break, care should be taken to avoid injury from broken glass and to prevent liquid crystal from the display touching the skin or entering the eyes and mouth.
When bright subjects are framed in the monitor, white or colored streaks may appear in the display, sometimes in association with color shading. This phenomenon, known as “smear”, occurs when bright light strikes the image sensor and does not indicate a malfunction. Smear has no effect on photographs taken with the camera, but you should avoid shooting movies with the sun or other bright light sources in or near the frame.
❚❚The Camera Battery and Charging AC Adapter
Do not use the camera at ambient temperatures below 0 °C
(32 °F) or above 40 °C (104 °F); failure to observe this precaution could damage the camera battery or impair its performance. Battery capacity may be reduced at camera temperatures from 45 °C (113 °F) to 60 °C (140 °F).
Turning the camera on and off repeatedly when the battery is fully discharged will shorten battery life. If the camera battery is fully discharged, recharge the camera before use.
Battery capacity tends to decrease on cold days. Be sure the camera is fully charged before taking photographs outside in cold weather and keep the camera warm. Some of the capacity lost to cold may be regained when the camera warms again.
If the camera will not be used for some time, run the battery flat and store the camera in a location with an ambient temperature of 15 °C to 25 °C (59 °F to 77 °F; avoid hot or extremely cold locations). Repeat this process at least once every six months.
A marked drop in the time the camera retains its charge when used at room temperature indicates that the battery requires replacement. The battery is not
