LCD Monitor
≥In a place with drastic temperature changes, condensation 
may form on the LCD Monitor. Wipe it with soft dry cloth.
≥If your Movie Camera is extremely cold when you turn its

than usual at first. However, as the internal temperature 
increases, it goes back to the normal brightness.

Extremely high precision technology is employed to produce 
the LCD Monitor screen featuring a total of approximately 
110,000 pixels. The result is more than 99.99% effective 
pixels with a mere 0.01% of the pixels inactive or always lit. 
However, this is not a malfunction and does not affect the 
recorded picture.

Viewfinder
≥Do not direct the Viewfinder or Lens to the sun. Internal 
components may be seriously damaged.

Battery (CGP-D28S/CGP-D320; optional) attached to it, it 
is not practical to look in the Viewfinder from behind the 
Battery. In this case, lift up the Viewfinder to an easy-to-see 
angle.

Extremely high precision technology is employed to produce 
the Viewfinder screen featuring a total of approximately 
113,000 pixels. The result is more than 99.99% effective 
pixels with a mere 0.01% of the pixels inactive or always lit. 
However, this is not a malfunction and does not affect the 
recorded picture.

≥When you wish to attach the Tele Conversion Lens (VW-
LT3714ME; optional), Wide Conversion Lens (VW-
LW3707ME; optional), MC Protector (VW-LMC37E; 
optional), or ND Filter (VW-LND37E; optional), first of all, 
turn the Lens Hood counterclockwise. If the MC Protector 
or ND Filter is used, the Lens Hood can be mounted on the 
filter.
≥If you push the [W/T] Lever toward [W] during recording 
with the filter or conversion lens attached to the Movie 
Camera, 4 corners of the image may become dark 
(vignetting). For details, please refer to the operating 
instructions of your accessories.
≥Be sure to keep the Lens Hood attached to the Movie 
Camera so as to shut out unnecessary light.
