Chapter 1 Overview — Before using the camera
f
Since the viewfinder of the camera uses organic EL, if the same image or letters are allowed to be displayed for a long time, the image may be burned
into the screen. There is no problem with the recorded images.
Switch the screen by turning off the screen or by using the eye sensor, etc.
f
The LCD monitor and viewfinder (organic EL) are highly-precisely managed so that at least 99.99% of the dots are effective pixels and 0.01% or less
are invalid pixels and always lit. This is not a malfunction and it has no effect whatsoever on the recorded images.
r
Do not point the eye piece of the lens and viewfinder at the sun.
Doing so might damage the components inside.
r
Protective cap for the terminal
Place a protective cap on connection terminals not being used.
r
GPS
GPS (Global Position System) satellite is managed by the United States Department of State and its precision is sometimes intentionally changed.
Position it in a location where there is a good view of the sky and there is no influence of obstacles such as roofs and trees, etc.
Depending upon the surrounding environment and the time, it may take a long time to position and errors may be larger.
r
Caution regarding laser beams
The MOS sensor may be damaged if the MOS sensor is subjected to light from a laser beam.
Take sufficient care to prevent laser beams from striking the lens when shooting in an environment where laser devices are used.
r
Note the following points.
f
If you prepare to record important images, always shoot some advance test footage to verify that both pictures and sound are being recorded
normally.
f
Should video or audio recording fail due to a malfunction of the camera or the P2 cards used, we will not assume liability for such failure.
f
Set up or check the calendar and time zone before recording (Setting the date/time of the internal clock). These settings have an effect on the
management and playback order for recorded contents.
