Always remove the battery after use.

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.
