Precaution on copyright
Television programs, films, video tapes, and other materials
may be copyrighted. Unauthorized recording of such materials

In addition to malfunctions and inability to record images, this

LCD screen, LCD finder (only models with a
finder) and lens
• The LCD screen and the LCD finder are manufactured using
extremely high-precision technology so over 99.99% of the
pixels are operational for effective use. However, there may
be some tiny black points and/or bright points (white, red,
blue or green in color) that constantly appear on the LCD
screen and the LCD finder. These points are normal in the
manufacturing process and do not affect the recording in any
way.
• Be careful when placing the camera near a window or
outdoors. Exposing the LCD screen, the LCD
finder or the
lens to direct sunlight for long periods may cause
malfunctions.
Do not get the camera wet
When taking pictures outdoors in the rain or under similar
conditions, be careful not to get the camera wet. If moisture
condensation occurs, see page 94 and follow the instructions
on how to remove it before using the camera.
Back up recommendation
To avoid the potential risk of data loss, always copy (back up)
data to a disk.
