About the LCD monitor/Viewfinder
Extremely high precision technology is employed to produce the LCD monitor/
Viewfinder screen. However there may be some dark or bright spots (red, blue or 
green) on the screen. This is not a malfunction. The LCD monitor/Viewfinder screen 
has more than 99.99% effective pixels with a mere 0.01% of the pixels inactive or 
always lit. The spots will not be recorded on pictures on a card.
