LCD monitor/viewfinder
≥When the LCD monitor gets dirty, wipe it with a dry soft cloth.
≥In a place with drastic temperature changes, condensation may form on the LCD monitor. Wipe it with soft dry cloth.
≥When the unit has become very cold, for example due to storage in a cold area, its LCD monitor will be slightly darker than usual immediately after the power is turned on. The normal brightness will be restored when the unit’s internal temperature rises.
Extremely high precision technology is employed to produce the LCD Monitor screen featuring a total of approximately 300,000 pixels. The result is more than 99.99% effective pixels with a mere 0.01% of the pixels inactive or always lit. However, this is not a malfunction and does not affect the recorded picture.
