≥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 power on, the image on the LCD 
Monitor is slightly darker than usual at first. 
However, as the internal temperature increases, 
it goes back to the normal brightness.
Viewfinder

the attachment.
Extremely high precision technology is 
employed to produce the LCD Monitor 
screen featuring a total of approximately 
200,000 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.
