Handling Precautions
LCD Panel and LCD Monitor
Although the LCD monitor is manufactured with very high precision
technology with over 99.99% effective pixels, there might be a few dead
pixels among the remaining 0.01% or less pixels. Dead pixels displaying
only black or red, etc., are not a malfunction. They do not affect the images
recorded.
If the LCD monitor is left on for a prolonged period, screen burn-in may occur
where you see remnants of what was displayed. However, this is only
temporarily and will disappear when the camera is left unused for a few
days.
Memory Cards
Memory cards are precision devices. Do not drop the memory card or
subject it to vibration. Doing so could damage the images recorded on them.
Do not store or use the memory card near anything having a strong
magnetic field such as a TV set, speakers, or magnet. Also avoid places
prone to having static electricity. Otherwise, the images recorded on the
memory card might be lost.
Do not leave the memory card in direct sunlight or near a heat source. Doing
so can warp the cards and make them unusable.
Do not spill any liquid onto the memory card.
Always store your memory cards in a case to protect the data stored on
them.
Do not bend the card or subject it to any excessive force or physical shock.
Do not store the memory card in hot, dusty, or humid locations.
Lens Electrical Contacts
After detaching the lens from the camera, attach the lens
caps or put down the lens with the rear end up to avoid
scratching the lens surface and electrical contacts.
Cautions for Prolonged Use
When you shoot continuously for a prolonged period or use Live View shooting
for a long period, the camera may become hot. Although this is not a
malfunction, holding the hot camera for a long period can cause slight skin
burns.
