lithium-ion battery. It is susceptible to humidity 
and temperature and the effect increases the 
more the temperature rises or falls. In cold areas, 
the full charge indication may not appear or the 
low battery indication may appear about 
5 minutes after starting use. At high 
temperatures, the protection function may be 
triggered, making it impossible to use the unit.
Be sure to detach the battery after use.

Explanation of terms
Automatic white balance
White balance adjustment recognizes the color 
of light and adjusts so the white color will 
become a purer white. The unit determines the 
hue of light that comes through the lens, thereby 
judging the recording condition, and selects the 
closest hue setting.
This is called automatic white balance 
adjustment.
However, since the unit only stores white color 
information under several light sources, 
automatic white balance adjustment does not...

Recording a subject behind dirty or dusty 
window
The subject behind the window will not be 
focused because the focus is on the dirty 
window.
Similarly, when recording something on the 
opposite side of a road with heavy traffic, a 
vehicle that happens to pass by may be brought 
into focus.
Recording a subject that is surrounded by 
objects with glossy surfaces or by highly 
reflective objects
Since whatever is shiny or glistens is brought into 
focus, it is hard to focus on the subject to...
