operating and being operated correctly.

distributors are not liable for any consequential damages arising from
any malfunction of a camera or accessory, including memory cards,
that results in the failure of an image to be recorded or to be recorded
in a way that is machine readable.

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. This is not a
malfunction.
About the LCD Monitor
The LCD monitor is produced with extremely high-precision
manufacturing 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. 228).
Language Setting
Please see Setting the Display Language (p. 15) to change the
language setting.
