Do not use/store the camera in the following places
• In an extremely hot, cold or humid place
In places such as in a car parked in the sun, the camera body may become
deformed and this may cause a malfunction.
• Under direct sunlight or near a heater
The camera body may become discolored or deformed, and this may cause a
malfunction.
• In a location subject to shaking or vibration
• Near a location that generates strong radio waves, emits radiation or is strongly
magnetic
In such locations, the camera may not properly record or play back images.
• In sandy or dusty places
Be careful not to let sand or dust get into the camera. This may cause the camera to
malfunction, and in some cases this malfunction cannot be repaired.
Notes on the screen, electronic viewfinder and lens
• The screen and electronic viewfinder are manufactured using extremely high-
precision technology, and 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 screen and electronic viewfinder. These dots are a normal result of
the manufacturing process, and do not affect the recording.
• Take care that your fingers or other objects are not caught in the lens when it is
operating.
Notes on the flash
• Do not carry the camera by the flash unit, or use excessive force on it.
• If water, dust or sand get into the open flash unit, it may cause a malfunction.
• Take care that your finger is not in the way when pushing the flash down.
On camera’s temperature
Your camera and battery may get hot due to continuous use, but it is not a
malfunction.
On the overheat protection
Depending on the camera and battery temperature, you may be unable to record
movies or the power may turn off automatically to protect the camera.
A message will be displayed on the screen before the power turns off or you can no
longer record movies. In this case, leave the power off and wait until the camera and
battery temperature goes down. If you turn on the power without letting the camera
and battery cool down enough, the power may turn off again or you may be unable
to record movies.
