Notes on using your camera Shooting procedure • This camera has two modes for shooting: the Live View mode using the LCD monitor, and the viewfinder mode using the viewfinder (OVF). • There may be differences between an image recorded in Live View mode and an image recorded in viewfinder mode, such as exposure, white balance, or Drange optimizer, depending on the method used of metering or the exposure mode. • In Live View or focus check Live View mode, the recorded image may be different from the image you monitored with the LCD monitor. Notes on the functions available with the camera • To check whether it is a 1080 60icompatible device or 1080 50icompatible device, check for the following marks on the bottom of the camera. 1080 60i-compatible device:60i 1080 50i-compatible device:50i • You may feel uncomfortable symptoms such as eyestrain, nausea, or a tired feeling while watching 3D-images recorded with the camera on 3Dcompatible monitors. When you watch 3D-images, we recommend that you take a break at regular time intervals. Since the need for or frequency of break times varies between individuals, please set your own standards. If you feel sick, stop watching 3D-images, and consult a doctor as needed. Also, refer to the operating instructions of the connected device or the software used with the camera. A child's vision is always vulnerable (especially for children under six years of age). Before allowing them to watch 3D-images, please consult with an expert, such as a pediatric or ophthalmic doctor. Be sure to make sure your children follow the precautions above. No compensation for contents of the recording The contents of the recording cannot be compensated for if recording or playback is not possible due to a malfunction of your camera or a memory card, etc. Back up recommendation To avoid the potential risk of data loss, always copy (back up) data to other medium. Notes on the LCD monitor and lens • The LCD monitor is manufactured using extremely high-precision technology so over 99.99% of the pixels are operational for effective use. However, there may be some tiny black points and/or bright points (white, red, blue or green in color) that constantly appear on the LCD monitor. These points are normal in the manufacturing process and do not affect the images in any way. To deal with such issues that may appear in Live View mode, you may reduce the effect by using the "Pixel mapping" function (page 182). Black, white, red, blue and green points • Do not hold the camera by taking hold of the LCD monitor. • Do not expose the camera to sunlight or shoot sunward for a long time. The internal mechanism may be damaged. If sunlight is focused on a nearby object, it may cause a fire. 7
