Precaution
Camera Body Temperature
If your camera is used for prolonged periods, the camera body may become
warm. Please be aware of this and take care when operating the camera for an
extended period.
About the LCD Monitor
The LCD monitor is produced with extremely high-precision manufacturing
techniques. More than 99.99% of the pixels operate to specification. Less than
0.01% of the pixels may occasionally misfire or appear as red or black dots. This
has no effect on the recorded image and does not constitute a malfunction.
Please read through the “Read This First” section (p. 4) before using your camera.
Video Format
Please set the camera’s video signal format to the one used in your region before using it
with a TV monitor (p. 138).
Language Setting
Please see page 25 to change the language setting.
Charging the Date/Time Battery
• The camera has a built-in rechargeable lithium battery that maintains the date, time
and other camera settings. This battery recharges when the main battery pack is
inserted into the camera. When you first purchase the camera, place a charged
battery pack in it or use the AC adapter kit (sold separately) for at least 4 hours to
charge the date/time battery. It will charge even when the camera power is set to Off.
• If the Set Date/Time menu appears when the camera power is turned on, it means
that the date/time battery charge is depleted. Recharge it as described above.
