On the monitor, viewfinder, and lens
The monitor and viewfinder are manufactured using extremely high-precision
technology so over 99.99 % of the pixels are operational for effective use.
However, there may be some tiny black points and/or bright points (white, red,
blue or green in color) that consistently appear on the monitor and the
viewfinder. These points are normal in the manufacturing process and do not
affect the images in any way.
Exposing the monitor or lens to direct sunlight for long periods may cause a
malfunction. Exercise caution when placing the product near a window or
outdoors.
Do not directly expose the lens to beams such as laser beams. That may
damage the image sensor and cause the camera to malfunction.
Do not press against the monitor. The monitor may be discolored and that may
cause a malfunction.
Images may trail across on the monitor in a cold location. This is not a
malfunction.
If the monitor has drops of water or other liquids on it, wipe it with a soft cloth. If
the monitor stays wet, the surface of the monitor may change or deteriorate.
This may cause a malfunction.
When the battery pack is discharged, the product may shut off while the lens is
still extended. Insert a charged battery pack, then turn the product on again.
Make sure not to bump the lens or subject it to force.
Do not carry the camera by the monitor.
When the lens is in operation, be careful not to catch your fingers or any other
objects in the lens.
Do not expose the camera to sunlight or shoot sunward for a long time. The
internal mechanism may be damaged.
Do not use the camera in areas where strong radio waves or radiation is being
emitted. Recording and playback may not function correctly.
Shooting with the viewfinder
When looking through the viewfinder, you may experience symptoms such as
eye soreness, fatigue, or nausea similar to car-sickness. We recommend that
you take periodic breaks when shooting with the viewfinder. Determine the
necessary length and frequency of breaks on your own, as these will vary from
individual to individual. If unpleasant symptoms occur, stop using the viewfinder
until they resolve, and consult your doctor if necessary.
