• “3.2MEGA PIXELS” shown on the surface of
the camera is the number of effective pixels of
the CCD. However, the maximum number of
pixels recorded is 3.1 mega pixels. The
indication of the number of effective pixels of
the CCD is a recommendation of the JCIA
(Japan Camera Industry Association).
• Use a tripod with a screw length of less than
5.5 mm (7/32 inch). You will be unable to
firmly secure the camera to tripods having
longer screws, and may damage the camera.
