What to remember when throwing memory cards away or transferring them to others Formatting memory cards or deleting data using the functions of the unit or a computer will merely change the file management information: it will not completely erase the data on the cards. When throwing these cards away or transferring them to others, either physically destroy them or use a data deletion program for computers (commercially available) to completely erase the data.

What to remember when throwing memory
cards away or transferring them to others
Formatting memory cards or deleting data using
the functions of the unit or a computer will merely
change the file management information: it will
not completely erase the data on the cards. When
throwing these cards away or transferring them
to others, either physically destroy them or use a
data deletion program for computers (commercially
available) to completely erase the data. Users are
responsible for managing the data on their memory
cards.
Liquid crystal displays
Images or letters can get burned onto the
viewfinder’s LCD monitor if they are displayed
for a long time, but you can fix this by leaving the
camera off for several hours.
The pixels of the LCD monitor are controlled to
obtain high precision with 99.99 % of the effective
pixels. This leaves less than 0.01 % of pixels
that may not light or may remain on all the time.
These phenomena are normal and will have no
effect on the images you shoot.
Condensation may form if you use the camera
where temperatures fluctuate. Wipe dry with a
soft, dry cloth.
The viewfinder’s LCD monitor may appear dim
after immediately turning on a cold camera, but
will brighten as the camera warms up.
Do not point the lens or viewfinder at the sun.
Doing so may damage the parts inside.
Protective caps for the connectors
Keep the protective caps fitted over any
connectors that are not being used.
