Notes

•Charge the supplied NP-FM50 battery pack before using the camera for the first time.

•The LCD screen and the LCD finder are manufactured using extremely high-precision technology so over 99.99% of the pixels are operational for effective use. However, there may be some tiny black points and/or bright points (white, red, blue or green in color) that constantly appear on the LCD screen. These points are normal in the manufacturing process and do not affect the recording in any way.

•The camera is a precision instrument. Be careful not to bump the lens or the LCD screen, and not to apply force to it. Attach the strap to prevent the camera from damage by being dropped, etc. t“User’s Guide/Troubleshooting” (page 18)

On carrying or storing–Close the LCD screen toward the body.–Set the zoom fully to the W position to put the lens in.–Attach the lens cap.
