I was searching for information on the Kyocera Japanese website when I came across product information concerning the
Finecam M400R/M410R. There is a possibility that after 10-minutes of continued use it can cause the 'Liquid crystal display' to lose colour and turn purple. It can affect cameras with the following body numbers:- Finecam M400R: DM001000 - DM014000 Finecam M410R: DMB07000 - DMB32000 My cameras body number falls within the above mentioned body numbers, I am now running the camera continuously for more than 10-minutes to see whether the LCD changes to purple! Furthermore information can be found here:- http://babelfish.altavista.com/babel...rl_pagecontent ?lp=ja_en&url=http%3a%2f%2fwww.kyocera.co.jp%2fprd ct%2fop tical%2fcamerabody%2fm400r_m410r%2fsupport%2findex .html Has anyone experienced any problems so far? Sorry the URL is so long you can use:- http://babelfish.altavista.com/ Once at this website type in:- http://www.kyocera.co.jp/ Under language select Japanese to English. Harryo |

Thanks for the info Harryo. I seem to be in the clear as my serial number is DMB04---.
Hope the problem doesn't occur for you |

Well this evening I purposely ran the camera continuously for an hour without any ill-effects!
The only thing was that the base of the camera became slightly warm, which is to be expected, the LCD was completely unfazed. I am pleased that Kyocera had the sense to post this product information for the benefit of its customers, at least if anyone does at some stage have a problem with the LCD they know that it will be fixed.

Lovely... my model number falls into that range...
![]() However, it does get a bit warm which according to the website, is a possible factor on causing the screen to go purple. I hope it's not a serious problem, but I've emailed Kyocera UK to see what their position is on this. |

I never read manuals that aren't printed and alas, I don't have any papers right now for printing. Think I'll have to borrow some from uni...
I think leaving it on for 10mins solid is a bit excessive for me personally, the batteries won't forgive me anyway. :roll: Thanks for the pointer/reassurance and should be getting the wide-angle lens today. |

Stez, I had my camera running continuously for an hour without the LCD having any problems, I suppose that Kyocera in Japan are just being cautious.
I would not worry about the camera becoming warm all the digital cameras that I have owned all became warm after a period of use. Would be interested to hear what Kyocera UK says in response to your email. Harryo |
