≥ When the LCD monitor gets dirty, wipe it with a 
soft cloth, such as eye glass cleaner.
≥ In a place with drastic temperature changes, 
condensation may form on the LCD monitor. 
Wipe it with a soft cloth, such as eye glass 
cleaner.
≥ When the unit has become very cold, for 
example due to storage in a cold area, its LCD 
monitor will be slightly darker than usual 
immediately after the power is turned on. The 
normal brightness will be restored when the 
unit’s internal temperature rises.
When condensation forms on the unit, the lens 
will cloud up and the unit may not work properly. 
Make every effort to ensure that condensation 
does not form. If it does form, take the actions 
described below.
Causes of condensation
Condensation takes place when the ambient 
temperature or humidity is changed as 
follows.
≥ When this unit is brought inside from the cold 
(e.g. a ski slope) to a warm room.
≥ When this unit is moved from an 
air-conditioned car to outside.
≥ When a cold room has been warmed up 
quickly.
≥ When cool wind from an air conditioner is 
directly blown onto this unit.
≥ After summer afternoon showers of rain.
≥ When this unit is in a very humid place where 
the air is thick with steam. (e.g. a heated 
swimming pool)
Helpful hint
If, for example, you have used this unit for 
recording on a ski slope and are taking it into a 
heated room, place the unit inside a plastic bag, 
remove as much of the air from inside the bag as 
possible, then seal the bag. Leave the unit for 
about an hour in the room so the temperature of 
the unit is close to the ambient temperature of 
the room, then use it.
LCD monitor/viewfinder
Extremely high precision technology is 
employed to produce the LCD Monitor screen 
featuring a total of approximately 
230,000 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.
