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.

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.

Please set the camera’s video signal format to the one used in your
region before using it with a TV monitor (p. 223).
Language Setting
