• When inserting or ejecting the "Memory Stick PRO Duo" media, be careful so that the "Memory Stick PRO Duo" media does not pop out and drop. • When connecting your camera to another device with a cable, be sure to insert the connector plug in the correct way. Pushing the plug forcibly into the terminal will damage the terminal and may result in a malfunction of your camera. • Playback of movies other than those shot, edited or composed on this camera is not guaranteed. [ Notes on the LCD screen and lens • The LCD screen is manufactured using extremely high-precision technology, so over 99.99% of the pixels are operational for effective use.

These points are normal in the manufacturing process and do not affect the recording in any way.
