cloth, and then with a dry cloth.
• Do not use solvents, such as: benzine, thinner, alcohol, kitchen detergents, etc., to clean

About the LCD monitor
• Do not press the LCD monitor with excessive force. Uneven colors may appear on the
LCD monitor and it may malfunction.
• If the camera is cold when you turn it on, the picture on the LCD monitor will be slightly
darker than usual at rst. However, the picture will return to normal brightness when the
internal temperature of the camera increases.
Extremely high precision technology is employed to produce the LCD monitor screen.
However, there may be some dark or bright spots (red, blue or green) on the screen.
This is not a malfunction. The LCD monitor screen has more than 99.99% effective

recorded on pictures on the built-in memory or a card.
