448 Technical Notes
Notes on the monitor and viewfinder: These displays are constructed with
extremely high precision; at least 99.99% of pixels are effective, with no
more than 0.01% being missing or defective. Hence while these displays
may contain pixels that are always lit (white, red, blue, or green) or
always off (black), this is not a malfunction and has no effect on images
recorded with the device.
Images in the monitor may be difficult to see in a bright light. Do not
apply pressure to the monitor, as this could cause damage or
malfunction. Dust or lint can be removed with a blower. Stains can be
removed by wiping lightly with a soft cloth or chamois leather. Should
the monitor break, care should be taken to avoid injury from broken
glass and to prevent liquid crystal from the monitor touching the skin or
entering the eyes and mouth.
Should you feel unwell or experience any of the following symptoms
while framing shots in the viewfinder, discontinue use until your
condition improves: nausea, eye pain, eye fatigue, dizziness, headache,
stiffness in your neck or shoulders, carsickness, or loss of hand-eye
coordination. The same applies should you start to feel unwell when
watching the shooting display flicker rapidly on and off during burst
photography.
Noise in the form of lines may in rare cases appear in pictures that
include bright lights or back-lit subjects.
The battery and charger: Batteries may leak or explode if improperly
handled. Observe the following precautions when handling batteries
and chargers:
• Use only batteries approved for use in this equipment.
• Do not expose the battery to flame or excessive heat.
• Keep the battery terminals clean.
• Turn the product off before replacing the battery.
• The battery may become hot while in use. Observe caution when
handling the battery immediately after use.
