Handling Precautions

 

Although the LCD monitor is manufactured with very high precision 
technology with over 99.99% active pixels, there might be a few dead pixels 
among the remaining 0.01% or less pixels. Dead pixels displaying only black 
or red, etc., are not a malfunction. They do not affect the images recorded.

 

At low temperatures, the liquid-crystal display response may become slower. 
And at high temperatures, the display may blacken. In either case, the 
display will return to normal at room temperature.

 

The CF card is a precision device. Do not drop the memory card or subject it 
to vibration. Doing so could damage the images recorded on them.

 

Do not store or use a memory card near anything having a strong magnetic 
field such as a TV set, speakers, or magnet. Also avoid places prone to 
having static electricity. Otherwise, the images recorded on the CF card 
might be lost.

 

Do not leave memory cards in direct sunlight or near a heat source. Doing so 
can warp the cards and make them unusable.

 

Do not spill any liquid onto the CF card.

 

Always store your CF cards in a case to protect the data stored on them.

 

Do not bend the card or subject it to any excessive force or physical shock.

 

Do not store CF cards in hot, dusty, or humid locations.

After detaching the lens from the camera, attach the lens 
caps or put down the lens with the rear end up to avoid 
scratching the lens surface and electrical contacts.
