About the LCD monitor

i If the LCD monitor is dirty, wipe it clean with a soft cloth such as an eyeglass cleaning cloth.

i Do not scratch or press the LCD monitor with strong force.

i If you affix a screen protector sheet to the LCD monitor, it may become difficult to see.

i In an environment with extreme temperature changes, condensation may form on the LCD monitor. Wipe it with a soft cloth such as an eyeglass cleaning cloth.

i When the camera has become very cold, for example in cold surroundings, the LCD monitor will be slightly darker than usual immediately after the camera is turned on. Normal brightness will be restored when the camera's internal temperature rises.

The LCD monitor is manufactured using high- precision technology; however, black spots may appear on the screen or some pixels (red, blue or green) may stay lit. This is normal and is not a malfunction.

The effective pixel rate of the LCD monitor is maintained at a very accurate 99.99%, and dead or stuck pixels may occur in at most 0.01% of the pixels. Note that these pixel defects are not recorded with the captured images and are not a cause for concern.

About condensation

If you take a cold drink bottle from the refrigerator on a hot summer day and leave it for a while, you will find that water droplets have formed on the surface of the bottle. This is called “condensation”.

If condensation forms on the camera, the lens will fog up and the camera may not work properly. Make every effort to ensure that condensation does not form, or if it does form, take appropriate action.

Causes of condensation

i Condensation occurs when the ambient temperature or humidity has changed, as in the following:

hWhen the camera is brought

inside from the cold (for example, a ski slope) to a warm room

hWhen the camera is moved from an air-conditioned car to outside

hWhen a cold room has been warmed up quickly

hWhen cool wind from an air

conditioner blows directly on the camera

hAfter summer rain showers h When the camera is in a very

humid place where the air is thick with steam (for example, a heated swimming pool)
