• Near a location that generates strong radio waves, emits radiation or is strongly
magnetic place. Otherwise, the camera may not properly record or play back

malfunction, and in some cases this malfunction cannot be repaired.
Carl Zeiss lens
The camera is equipped with a Carl Zeiss lens which is capable of reproducing sharp
images with excellent contrast. The lens for the camera has been produced under a
quality assurance system certified by Carl Zeiss in accordance with the quality
standards of Carl Zeiss in Germany.
Notes on the screen, electronic viewfinder and lens
• The screen and electronic viewfinder are manufactured using extremely high-
precision technology, and over 99.99% of the pixels are operational for effective
use. However, some tiny black and/or bright dots (white, red, blue or green) may
appear on the screen and electronic viewfinder. These dots are a normal result of
the manufacturing process, and do not affect the recording.
• Take care that your fingers or other objects are not caught in the lens when it is
operating.
Notes on shooting with the viewfinder
This camera is equipped with an Organic Electro-Luminescence viewfinder with
high resolution and high contrast. This viewfinder achieves a wide viewing angle
and a long eye relief. This camera is designed to provide an easily viewable
viewfinder by appropriately balancing various elements.
• The image may be slightly distorted near the corners of the viewfinder. This is not
a malfunction. When you want to check every detail of the entire composition, you
can also use the LCD screen.
• If you pan the camera while looking into the viewfinder or move your eyes
around, the image in the viewfinder may be distorted or the color of the image may
change. This is a characteristic of the lens or display device and is not a
malfunction. When you shoot an image, we recommend that you look at the center
area of the viewfinder.
Notes on the flash
• Do not carry the camera by the flash unit, or use excessive strength on it.
• If water, dust or sand get into the open flash unit, it may cause a malfunction.
• Take care that your finger is not in the way when pushing the flash down.
On camera’s temperature
Your camera and battery may get hot due to continuous use, but it is not a
malfunction.
