TURNING THE CAMERA ON AND OFF

Caution when using the monitor

iIf an image is continuously displayed for an extended period of time, it may

result in a burn-in* effect on a part of the camera’s monitor. To prevent

burn-in, it is recommended that you avoid prolonged display of a still image

or paused image.

* Burn-in:A phenomenon whereby the faint outline of a static image

appears to remain on the screen.

iThe colors of images as viewed on the camera’s monitor may appear

slightly different depending on the angle of view. Prolonged exposure of

the monitor to direct sunlight or leaving the camera in a high-temperature

environment (such as in a car) are conditions that may adversely affect the

color display and which should therefore be avoided.

iIf the monitor is exposed to strong light, it may result in an abnormal

brightness in a part of the image. This is not a failure of the monitor. You

can reduce this phenomenon by shielding the monitor from light with your

hand or by adjusting the angle of the monitor unit. Note that this

phenomenon does not in any way affect the recorded images.
