(322) The subject appears distorted on the image.
PAGE 456
16. Materials The brightness or coloring of the recorded image is different from the actual scene. • When recording under lighting such as fluorescent or LED lighting, increasing the shutter speed may introduce slight changes to brightness or coloring. These are a result of the characteristics of the light source and do not indicate a malfunction.
PAGE 457
16. Materials In videos, abnormal clicking and buzzing sounds are recorded. The recorded audio is very quiet. • Depending on the recording conditions or the lens used, the sound of aperture and focus actions may be recorded in videos. You can set the focus operation during video recording to [OFF] in [Continuous AF] (261). • Do not block the microphone hole during video recording. An operation sound is recorded in a video.
PAGE 458

PAGE 464
16. Materials Cautions for Use The camera Keep this unit as far away as possible from electromagnetic equipment (such as microwave ovens, TVs, video games etc.). • If you use this unit on top of or near a TV, the pictures and/or sound on this unit may be disrupted by electromagnetic wave radiation. • Do not use this unit near cell phones because doing so may result in noise adversely affecting the pictures and/or sound.
PAGE 465
16. Materials Do not spray the camera with insecticides or volatile chemicals. • If the camera is sprayed with such chemicals, the body of the camera may be damaged and the surface finish may peel off. Do not keep products made of rubber, PVC or similar materials in contact with the camera for a long period of time. Cleaning Before cleaning the camera, remove the battery or the DC Coupler, and disconnect the power plug from the electrical outlet. Then wipe the camera with a dry, soft cloth.
PAGE 466
16. Materials Removing dirt on the image sensor The image sensor is very precise and delicate, so be sure to observe the following when you do have to clean it yourself. • Blow dust off the surface of the image sensor using a commercially available blower. Do not blow the dust off with excessive power. • Do not put the blower brush further inside than the lens mount as the image sensor may get scratched. • Do not use any objects except a blower brush to clean the image sensor.
PAGE 467
16. Materials Lens • Do not press the lens with excessive force. • Do not leave the camera with the lens facing the sun as rays of light from the sun may cause it to malfunction. Also, be careful when placing the camera outside or near a window. • Do not irradiate the camera (lens) directly with strong light beams such as laser beams. Doing so may damage the image sensor and cause the camera to malfunction. • When there is dirt (water, oil, and fingerprints, etc.
