Self-timer LED

• It is normal for the camera to become warm during operation, because the camera
casing might conduct heat.
• The LCD display on this camera is manufactured with sophisticated technology, and
more than 99.99% of the pixels on the LCD display meet standard specifications. Yet, it
is possible that less than 0.01% of the pixels on the LCD display may have some light
spots or show unusual colors. This is normal and does not indicate display
malfunction, nor will this affect the pictures you take with the camera.
• The LCD monitor looks darker in strong sunlight or bright light. This is not a
malfunction.
• To prevent your images from being blurred while pressing the shutter button, always
hold the camera steady. This is especially important when you are shooting under low
lighting conditions, under which your camera may reduce the shutter speed to ensure
your images are properly exposed.
