• Do not press the monitor with excessive force. Doing so may cause malfunction.
• If the camera gets very cold in cold places such as ski resorts or places at high altitude,
performance of the monitor may temporarily drop immediately after turning this unit on, e.g. the
picture on the monitor being slightly darker than usual or ghost images appearing. Keep the
camera warm when using in a cold environment. The performance will resume as normal when
the internal temperature rises.
• Do not press the lens with excessive force.
• Do not leave the camera with the lens facing the sun as rays of light from the sun may cause it
to malfunction. Also, be careful when placing the camera outside or near a window.
• If there is water or dirt on the lens, wipe it off with dry soft cloth before taking a picture.
• If water is left in the microphone or speaker hole, weak or distorted audio may be recorded and
played back. Drain the water, and use the camera only after letting it dry for a while.
• Do not poke the holes of microphone and speaker with sharp points. (It may damage the
waterproof sheet inside, which may damage the waterproof performance.)
About the Monitor/Viewfinder
Extremely high precision technology is employed to produce the Monitor/
Viewfinder screen. However there may be some dark or bright spots (red, blue or
green) on the screen. This is not a malfunction. Though the Monitor/Viewfinder
screen parts are produced with highly controlled precision technology, some
pixels may be inactive or always lit. The spots will not be recorded on pictures
on a card.
