LCD Monitor

≥In a place with drastic temperature changes,

condensation may form on the LCD Monitor.

Wipe it with soft dry cloth.

≥If your Movie Camera is extremely cold when

you turn its power on, the image on the LCD

Monitor is slightly darker than usual at first.

However, as the internal temperature increases,

it goes back to the normal brightness.

Viewfinder

≥Do not direct the Viewfinder or Lens to the sun.

Internal components may be seriously

damaged.

≥To clean the inside of the Viewfinder, keep

pressing 1 and hold the Eyecup 2 and pull it

out.

Lens Hood

≥When attaching the ND Filter or MC Protector of

the Filter Kit (VW-LF43WE; optional), attach it

on the inside of the Lens Hood without

removing the Lens Hood.

≥Do not attach other conversion lenses in front of

the Lens Hood; there is no mount to be used for

the attachment.

Extremely high precision technology is

employed to produce the LCD Monitor

screen featuring a total of approximately

200,000 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.
