i If the LCD monitor is dirty, wipe it 

clean with a soft cloth such as an 
eyeglass cleaning cloth.

i Do not scratch or press the LCD 

monitor with strong force.

i If you affix a screen protector 

sheet to the LCD monitor, it may 
become difficult to see.

i In an environment  with extreme 

temperature changes, 
condensation may form on the 
LCD monitor. Wipe it with a soft 
cloth such as an eyeglass 
cleaning cloth.

i When the camera has become 

very cold, for example in cold 
surroundings, the LCD monitor 
will be slightly darker than usual 
immediately after the camera is 
turned on. Normal brightness will 
be restored when the camera's 
internal temperature rises.

If you take a cold drink bottle from 
the refrigerator on a hot summer 
day and leave it for a while, you will 
find that water droplets have formed 
on the surface of the bottle. This is 
called “condensation”.
If condensation forms on the 
camera, the lens will fog up and the 
camera may not work properly. 
Make every effort to ensure that 
condensation does not form, or if it 
does form, take appropriate action.

i Condensation occurs when the 

ambient temperature or 
humidity has changed, as in 
the following:
h When the camera is brought 

inside from the cold (for 
example, a ski slope) to a 
warm room

h When the camera is moved 

from an air-conditioned car to 
outside

h When a cold room has been 

warmed up quickly

h When cool wind from an air 

conditioner blows directly on 
the camera

h After summer rain showers
h When the camera is in a very 

humid place where the air is 
thick with steam (for example, 
a heated swimming pool)

The LCD monitor is 
manufactured using high-
precision technology; 
however, black spots may 
appear on the screen or some 
pixels (red, blue or green) may 
stay lit. This is normal and is 
not a malfunction.
The effective pixel rate of the 
LCD monitor is maintained at a 
very accurate 99.99%, and dead 
or stuck pixels may occur in at 
most 0.01% of the pixels. Note 
that these pixel defects are not 
recorded with the captured 
images and are not a cause for 
concern.
