Camera Body Temperature
If your camera is used for prolonged periods, the camera body may
become warm. Please be aware of this and take care when operating
the camera for an extended period.
About the LCD Monitor
The LCD monitor is produced with extremely high-precision manufac-
turing techniques. More than 99.99% of the pixels operate to
specification. Less than 0.01% of the pixels may occasionally misfire
or appear as red or black dots. This has no effect on the recorded
image and does not constitute a malfunction.
Video Format
Please set the camera's video signal format to the one used in your
region before using it with a TV monitor (p. 118).
Charging the Date/Time Battery
· The camera has a built-in rechargeable lithium battery that
maintains the date, time and other camera settings. This battery
recharges when the main battery pack is inserted into the camera.
When you first purchase the camera, place a charged battery pack
in it or use the AC adapter kit (sold separately) for at least 4 hours
to charge the date/ time battery. It will charge even when the
camera power is set to Off.
· If the Set Date/Time menu appears when the camera power is
turned on, it means that the date / time battery charge is depleted.
Recharge it as described above.
