Camera Body Temperature
If your camera is used for prolonged periods, the camera body may become
warm. Please be aware of this and take care when operating the camera for
an extended period.
About the LCD Monitor
The LCD monitor is produced with extremely high-precision manufacturing
techniques. More than 99.99% of the pixels operate to specification. Less
than 0.01% of the pixels may occasionally misfire or appear as red or black
dots. This has no effect on the recorded image and does not constitute a
malfunction.
Video Format
Please set the camera’s video signal format to the one used in your region
before using it with a TV monitor (p. 156).
Charging the Date/Time Battery
• The camera has a built-in rechargeable lithium-ion battery that maintains
the date, time and other camera settings. This battery recharges when the
main battery pack is inserted into the camera. When you first purchase the
camera, place a charged battery pack in it for at least 4 hours to charge
the date/time battery. It will charge even when the camera power is turned
off.
• If the Date/Time menu appears when the camera power is turned on, it
means that the date/time battery charge is depleted. Recharge it as
described above.
