Notes on display and backlight
●
The Control panel and the fluorescent lamps used in the LCD monitor have a limited
service life. If they begin to darken or flicker, contact your nearest service center.
●
In cold conditions, the display backlight may be slow to come on or may change
color suddenly. To avoid this, keep the camera warm when using in cold
temperatures. Backlight performance will return to normal under normal temperature
conditions.
●
When the color LCD monitor shows different pictures, some pixels may not change
color and remain on or off. This phenomenon may be due to a lag in some circuits,
but is considered to be within the normal operating tolerances of the LCD monitor. In
addition, the brightness of the color LCD monitor may vary between pictures.
