Care for the camera
•
Do not shake or cause impact to the
camera.
The camera may not be
operated normally or recording of pictures
may be disabled, or the lens may be
damaged.
• Sand or dust may cause a malfunction
of the camera. When you use the
camera on a beach etc., take care so
that sand or dust does not get into the
camera.
• When you use the camera on a rainy day
or on a beach, take care so that water
does not get into the camera.
• If seawater splashes onto the camera,
wet a soft cloth with tap water, wring it
well, and use it to wipe the camera
body carefully. Then, wipe it again with
a dry cloth.

About the LCD monitor
• Do not press the LCD monitor strongly.
It may cause uneven colours on the
LCD monitor or a malfunction of the
LCD monitor.
• In a place with drastic temperature
changes, condensation may form on the
LCD monitor. Wipe it with a soft, dry cloth.
• If the camera is extremely cold when you
turn the camera on, the image on the LCD
monitor is slightly darker than usual at
first. However, as the internal temperature
increases, it goes back to the normal
brightness.
Extremely high precision technology is
employed to produce the LCD monitor
screen. The result is more than 99.99%
effective pixels with a mere 0.01% of the
pixels inactive or always lit. However,
this will not be recorded on the pictures
in the card.
