What to remember when throwing memory cards away or transferring them to others Formatting memory cards or deleting data using the functions of the unit or a computer will merely change the file management information: it will not completely erase the data on the cards. When throwing these cards away or transferring them to others, either physically destroy them or use a data deletion program for computers (commercially available) to completely erase the data. Users are responsible for managing the data on their memory cards.

Liquid crystal displays

•Images or letters can get burned onto the screen of the LCD or viewfinder if they are displayed for a long time, but you can fix this by leaving the camera off for several hours.

•The liquid crystal parts are highly precise with 99.99% of the pixels effective. This leaves less than 0.01% of pixels that may not light or may remain on all the time. These phenomena are normal and will have no effect on the images you shoot.

•Condensation may form if you use the camera where temperatures fluctuate. Wipe dry with a soft, dry cloth.

•The LCD may appear dim after immediately turning on a cold camera, but will brighten as the camera warms up.

Do not point the lens or viewfinder at the sun.

Doing so may damage the parts inside.
