LCD Panel
The liquid crystal panel of the monitor screen uses high-precision technology that
provides a pixel yield in excess of 99.99%. This means that some very small number
of pixels may not light or may remain lit at all times. This is due to the characteristics
of the liquid crystal panel, and does not indicate malfunction.
Take test shots
Before shooting your final image, shoot a test shot to ensure that the camera is
recording correctly.

Quick Start Basics
Changing the Camera Style to Suit Shooting Conditions
You can change the configuration of the camera by opening or closing the frame and
rotating the monitor screen panel to suit shooting conditions.
IMPORTANT!
• Do not apply strong pressure to the surface of the monitor screen. Doing so can
damage it.
• Never touch the lens with your fingers. Finger smudges, dirt, and other foreign
matter on the lens can interfere with proper operation of the camera. Use a blower
or other means to keep the lens and flash window free of dirt and dust, and wipe
