GB 16 Notes on the monitor, electronic viewfinder, lens, and image sensor ••The monitor and electronic viewfinder are manufactured using extremely high-precision technology, and over 99.99% of the pixels are operational for effective use. However, there may be some small black dots and/or bright dots (white, red, blue or green in color) that constantly appear on the monitor and electronic viewfinder. These dots are normal due to the manufacturing process and do not affect the images in any way. ••Do not hold the camera by the monitor. ••When using the power zoom lens, be careful not to get your fingers or any other objects caught in the lens. ••Do not leave the lens or the viewfinder exposed to a strong light source such as sunlight. Because of the lens's condensing function, doing so may cause smoke, fire, or a malfunction inside the camera body or the lens. If you have to leave the camera exposed to a light source such as sunlight, attach the lens cap to the lens. ••When you shoot with backlighting, keep the sun sufficiently far away from the angle of view. Otherwise, the sunlight may enter the focus inside the camera and cause smoke or fire. Even if the sun is slightly away from the angle of view, it may still cause smoke or fire.
