• As for shock-proof performance, this product has passed our in-company testing, which
conforms to MIL-STD 810G C1 Method 516.7-Shock (U.S. Department of Defense test method
standard for shock), by dropping this product from a height of 2.0m (6.5ft.) above a 5cm
(2inches) thick plywood board*.
* Testing was performed with the monitor of the camera in the closed position. In other
situations, such as when the monitor of the camera is in the open position, no guarantee is

pixels are operational for effective use. However, there may be some small black dots and/or
bright dots (white, red, blue or green in color) that constantly appear on the monitor. These are
imperfections due to the manufacturing process and do not affect the recorded images in any
way.
Notes on continuous shooting
During continuous shooting, the monitor may flash between the shooting screen and a black
screen. If you keep watching the screen in this situation, you may experience uncomfortable
symptoms such as feeling of unwellness. If you experience uncomfortable symptoms, stop using
