Touch operations

This camera’s touch screen senses pressure that is applied to the screen.

Touch

To “touch” is to press the touch screen and then pull

the finger back again.

actions.

• Touch an icon near its centre. If multiple icons are

touched simultaneously, the camera may not operate

normally.

Drag

touch screen surface.

Dragging (sliding your finger across the screen) is used

to scroll the pictures or change the range of the pictures

displayed.

●If the type of sheet to protect LCD screens that are available on the

market is to be used, observe the precautions that are contained with

the sheet. (Some types of protective sheets may impair the screen’s

visual recognition and ease of operation.)

●If the camera is used with a protective sheet available on the market

attached to its screen or if the screen is not very responsive, touch the

screen with a little more pressure.

●If your hand is pressed against the touch screen when holding the

camera, the touch screen will not work properly.

●Do not press on the LCD monitor with hard pointed tips, such as

ballpoint pens.

●Do not press the touch screen with your fingernails.

●Clean the LCD monitor with a soft dry cloth if there are fingerprints or

other kinds of dirt on it.
