[REVERSE THE LCD MONITOR] indication 
appears.
≥If set in a bright place, the screen may become 
whitish for a while.
≥The MagicPix function makes the signal 
charging time of CCD up to approximately 8
longer than usual, so that dark scenes invisible 
to the naked eye can be recorded brightly. For 
this reason, bright dots that are usually invisible 
may be seen, but this is not a malfunction.
≥The MagicPix function is canceled when you 
turn off the power or operate the mode dial.
Soft skin mode
This allows the skin color to be recorded in a 
softer tone. This is more effective if you record the

not be clear.
