Notes on the LCD screen and lens

•The LCD screen is manufactured using extremely high-precision technology, so over 99.99% of the pixels are operational for effective use. However, some tiny black and/or bright dots (white, red, blue or green) may appear on the LCD screen. These dots are a normal result of the manufacturing process, and do not affect the recording.

Black, white, red, blue or green points

•Exposing the LCD screen or the lens to direct sunlight for long periods may cause malfunctions. Be careful when placing the camera near a window or outdoors.

•Do not press against the LCD screen. The screen may be discolored and that may cause a malfunction.

•Images may trail across on the LCD screen in a cold location. This is not a malfunction.

•This camera is equipped with a power zoom lens. Be careful not to bump the lens, and be careful not to apply force to it.
