Notes on the LCD screen
• 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.
• If water droplets or other liquids splash on the LCD screen and make it wet,
immediately wipe off the screen with a soft cloth. Leaving liquids on the
LCD screen surface can harm the quality and cause a malfunction.
• Do not press against the LCD screen. The screen may be discolor ed and that
may cause a malfunction.
Please use Sony genuine accessories
If you use accessories manufactured by companies other than Sony, this could
cause a camera trouble.
• Using other manufacturers’ camera cases with magnets could cause a power
supply trouble.
