Do not leave the eyepiece of the viewfinder
pointed in the direction of the sun or strong
light sources.
Internal components may be damaged or fire
may be caused if light is focused through the
lens.
• When the LCD monitor is open, the viewfinder
may not display anything. Close the LCD
monitor. (Page 66)
• Less than 0.01% of the pixels in the LCD may
not light or remain on all the time. They are
not defective, and will have no effect on the
images you record.
• Screen burn-in may occur in the LCD monitor,
however, this is not a defect.
