12. Others About the Monitor • Do not press the monitor with excessive force. Uneven colors may appear on the monitor and it may malfunction. • If the camera is cold when you turn it on, the picture on the Monitor will be slightly darker than usual at first. 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 Monitor screen. However there may be some dark or bright spots (red, blue or green) on the screen. This is not a malfunction. Though the Monitor screen parts are produced with highly controlled precision technology, some pixels may be inactive or always lit. The spots will not be recorded on pictures on a card. About the Lens • Do not press the lens with excessive force. • Do not leave the camera with the lens facing the sun as rays of light from the sun may cause it to malfunction. Also, be careful when placing the camera outside or near a window. • When there is dirt (water, oil, and fingerprints, etc.) on the surface of the lens, the picture may be affected. Lightly wipe the surface of the lens with a soft, dry cloth before and after taking pictures. • To prevent dust and other particles from accumulating on or entering the lens, attach the lens rear cap when the lens is not in use. • To protect the lens contact points A, do not place the lens with its mount surface facing down. In addition, do not allow the lens contact points to become dirty. 316
