Notes on the battery pack
• Charge the battery pack (supplied) before using
the camera for the first time.
• You can charge the battery pack even if it is not
completely discharged. In addition, even if the
battery pack is not fully charged, you can use the
partially charged capacity of the battery pack as
is.
• If you do not intend to use the battery pack for a
long time, use up the existing charge and
remove it from the camera, then store it in a
cool, dry place. This is to maintain the battery
pack functions.
• For details on the usable battery pack, see
page 171.
Notes on the LCD screen, the LCD
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, some
tiny black and/or bright dots (white, red, blue or
green) may appear on the LCD screen. These
dots are a normal result of the manufacturing
process and do not affect the recording.
• Do not hold the camera by taking hold of the
LCD screen.
• Exposing the LCD screen, the LCD finder or the
lens to direct sunlight for long periods may
cause malfunctions. Be careful when placing the
camera near a window or outdoors.
• Do not press against the LCD screen. The screen
may be discolored and that may cause a
malfunction.
• Images may trail across on the LCD screen in a
cold location. This is not a malfunction.
• Be careful not to bump the movable lens, and be
careful not to apply force to it.
Note when playing movies on other
devices
This camera utilizes MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 Main
Profile to record movies. Therefore, movies
recorded using this camera cannot be played on
