Notes

points and/or bright points (white, red, blue or green in color) that constantly appear on the LCD screen.
These points are normal in the manufacturing process and do not affect the recording in any way.
• The camera is a precision instrument. Be careful not to bump the lens or the LCD screen, and not to
apply force to it. Attach the strap to prevent the camera from damage by being dropped, etc. t "User's
Guide/Troubleshooting" (page 18)
