LCD Screen

When you turn the camera on, various icons are shown on the LCD screen to indicate the current camera settings and status. To learn more about the displayed icons, see "LCD Screen Display" on page 19.

LCD Screen Notes:

Extremely high-precision technology has been used to manufacture the LCD screen to ensure most of the pixels are operational. On occasion, there may be some minute points (black, white, red, blue or green) that consistently appear on the LCD screen. These points are normal in the manufacturing process and do not affect the recording process in any way.

Avoid exposing the LCD screen to water; remove any moisture on the LCD screen with a soft, dry cleaning cloth.

If the LCD monitor is damaged, take particular care with the liquid crystal in the monitor. If any of the following situations arise, take the recommended, immediate action indicated below:

• If liquid from inside the LCD screen comes in contact with your skin, wipe the area with a clean cloth and then wash thoroughly with soap and running water.
• If liquid from inside the LCD screen gets into your eye, flush the affected eye with clean water for at least 15 minutes and then seek medical assistance immediately.
• If the liquid crystal display or the liquid inside it are swallowed, flush your mouth thoroughly with water. Drink large quantities of water and induce vomiting. Seek medical assistance immediately.
