What to remember when throwing memory
cards away or transferring them to others
Formatting memory cards or deleting data using
the functions of the unit or a computer will merely
change the file management information: it will
not completely erase the data on the cards.
When throwing these cards away or transferring
them to others, either physically destroy them
or use a data deletion program for computers
(commercially available) to completely erase the
data. Users are responsible for managing the
data on their memory cards.
Liquid crystal displays
Images or letters can get burned onto the
screen of the LCD or viewfinder if they are
displayed for a long time, but you can fix this
by leaving the camera-recorder off for several
hours.
The pixels of the LCD monitor are controlled
to obtain high precision with 99.99 % of the
effective pixels. This leaves less than 0.01 %
of pixels that may not light or may remain on all
the time. These phenomena are normal and will
have no effect on the images you shoot.
Condensation may form if you use the camera-
recorder where temperatures fluctuate. Wipe
dry with a soft, dry cloth.
The LCD may appear dim after immediately
turning on a cold camera-recorder, but will
brighten as the camera-recorder warms up.
Do not point the lens or viewfinder at the sun.
Doing so may damage the parts inside.
Protective caps for the connectors
Keep the protective caps fitted over any
connectors that are not being used.
