Points to verify before using the camera
If taking particularly important pictures or if you have not used the camera for a long period, first confirm
that it functions properly, or consult an Authorized Service Centre.
We decline all responsibility concerning the loss of data, down time, loss of revenue or any other direct or
indirect damage or claims caused by this camera.
Do not use or store in a hot place (e.g. inside a closed car on a hot and sunny day)
It may shorten their service life. Store in a dry cool place protected from direct sunlight.
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.
