NOTES
About the LCD and viewfinder screen: The
screens are produced using extremely
high-precision manufacturing techniques,
with more than 99.99% of the pixels
operating to specification. Less than
0.01% of the pixels may occasionally
misfire or appear as black, red, blue or
green dots. This has no effect on the
recorded image and does not constitute a
malfunction.

screen to normal or bright.
Hold pressed down for more

Repeat this action to toggle between
the normal and bright settings.
NOTES
• This setting does not affect the
brightness of the recordings.

effective usage time of the battery pack.
