LCD display and camera lens

The LCD of your CLIÉ handheld is designed with precision technology. In some cases, individual pixels may remain lit or may not light at all. Brightness of the display may appear inconsistent, depending on the angle of view. Such anomalies are caused by the nature of the LCD and do not indicate a malfunction. Please note that Sony does not guarantee a replacement or refund for such cases. Do not expose the LCD or camera lens to direct sunlight for prolonged periods. It may result in a malfunction. Do not store your CLIÉ handheld in areas subject to sunlight, such as near windows, and be careful when using outdoors.

The built-in camera

Bright or dark pixels may appear on pictures taken with the built-in camera. This phenomenon is not a malfunction and occurs due to the nature of the image sensor

Before taking pictures (CLIE Camera)

Sony recommends taking a test picture to confirm settings, etc., before actual shooting. Take a test shot, save it, and view it to check the result. Experiment with the camera for best results.
