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 malfunc-
tion.
Video Format
Please set the camera’s video signal format to the one used in your region
before using it with a TV monitor (p. 181).
Language Setting
Please see page 28 to change the language setting.
Please read through the “Read This First” section (p. 6) before using your
camera.
