temperature is 
ver y low.

pack in an 
environment of 10 to 
35 °C (50 to 95 °F).

IMPORTANT MESSAGES AND ALERTS
ShootingWhat is the 
difference 
between the 
digital zoom and 
the optical zoom?
— Because shooting 
with the optical 
zoom uses the 
optics of a physical 
lens, you can shoot 
without losing 
minute details in the 
image. The digital 
zoom, on the other 
hand, works by 
magnifying a portion 
of the image that 
hits the image 
sensor and may 
produce a coarser 
image.
How can I get the 
distant view into 
focus? — Set the scene mode 
function to the 
landscape  
mode when 
photographing.
LCD 
monitor When used in 
cold weather, why 
does the image 
seem to leave 
traces as it 
moves?
Condition due to 
the LCD monitor 
characteristics.
Not a malfunction. 
Spots that appear in 
the LCD monitor 
only appear in the 
LCD monitor and 
will not be recorded 
with the images.
Why does the 
displayed image 
contain some red, 
blue and green 
dots, or why are 
black spots 
visible? Question
