● Monitor/Viewfinder
The monitor and viewfinder ar
e 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. Pictures recorded with the device are unaffected. Your understanding is
requested.
Pictures in the monitor may be difficult to see in a bright light.
Do not apply pressure to the monitor. It could malfunction or suffer damage. Dust or lint can be
removed with a blower. Stains can be removed by wiping the monitor lightly with a soft cloth
or chamois leather. Should the monitor break, care should be taken to avoid injury from broken
glass. Be careful that liquid crystal from the monitor does not touch the skin or enter the eyes or
mouth.
Should you 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,
queasiness or loss of hand-eye coordination, or
motion sickness.
The display may rapidly flicker on and off during burst photography. Watching the flickering
display could cause you to feel unwell. Discontinue use until your condition improves.
● Bright Lights and Back-Lit Subjects
Noise in the form of lines may in rare cases appear in pictures that include bright lights or back-lit
subjects.
● Camera Shooting and Playback Displays
When [HLG] is selected for tone mode, the shooting and playback displays in the camera monitor
and viewfinder may include “noise” in the form of randomly-spaced bright pixels, fog, or lines or
may fail to accurately reproduce highlights and highly-saturated colors. In addition, abrupt tone
discontinuities may be visible in the camera monitor or viewfinder when photos are displayed
full-frame, although the photos themselves are unaffected. For accurate tone reproduction, use
monitors, computers, operating systems, applications, and other equipment compatible with HLG.
