IMPORTANT MESSAGES AND ALERTS

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 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)

Hint for using in extreme temperature changes For example, if you bring the camera into a heated room after using it on a ski slope, place the camera in a plastic bag, remove as much air as possible from the bag, then seal the bag. Leave the camera for about an hour to allow the temperature of camera to adjust to the ambient temperature of the room before using it.

Treating a foggy lens Remove the battery and AC adaptor, and leave the camera for about 1 hour. The cloudiness will dissipate naturally when the camera adjusts to the ambient temperature.
