≥ The memory capacity indicated on the label 
of an SD card is the total of the capacity for 
copyright protection and management and 
the capacity which can be used on the unit, a 
computer etc.
≥ During prolonged use, the unit’s surfaces and 
the SD card will heat up slightly. This is 
normal.
When inserting or removing the SD card, 
always set the OFF/ON switch to OFF.
While this unit accesses the SD card (while 
 or 
 is being displayed/the access 
lamp is lit), do not remove the SD card, 
operate the mode dial, turn off the power or 
shake or impact the unit.
≥ When the LCD monitor gets dirty, wipe it with 
a dry soft cloth. 
≥ In a place with drastic temperature changes, 
condensation may form on the LCD monitor. 
Wipe it with soft dry cloth.
≥ 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)
When this unit is taken to a location with a 
significant temperature difference such as 
from a cold place to a hot place.
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.
What to do with the lens is fogged 
up.
Remove the battery or AC adaptor and leave 
the unit for about 1 hour. When the unit 
becomes close to the ambient temperature, the 
fog disappears naturally.
About the SD card
LCD monitor/viewfinder
Extremely high precision technology is 
employed to produce the LCD Monitor 
screen featuring a total of approximately 
123,000 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.
