• If the camera gets very cold in cold places such as ski resorts or places at high altitude,
performance of the LCD monitor may temporarily drop immediately after turning the power on,
e.g. the picture on the LCD 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.
Cleaning
About the LCD monitor
Extremely high precision technology is employed to produce the LCD monitor screen.
However, there may be some dark or bright spots (red, blue, or green) on the screen.
This is not a malfunction. The LCD monitor screen has more than 99.99% effective
pixels with a mere 0.01% of the pixels inactive or always lit. The spots will not be
recorded on pictures on the built-in memory or a card.
