Camera Body Temperature
If your camera is used for prolonged periods, the
camera body may become warm. Please be aware
of this and take care when operating the camera
for an extended period.
About the LCD Monitor
The LCD monitor is produced with extremely high-
precision manufacturing techniques. More than
99.99% of the pixels operate to specification. Less
than 0.01% of the pixels may occasionally misfire
or appear as red or black dots.
This has no effect on the recorded image and does
not constitute a malfunction.

Please set the camera's video signal format to the
one used in your region before using it with a TV
monitor (p. 113).
Language Setting
Please see page 24 to change the language
setting.
