About the LCD monitor
Extremely high precision technology is employed to produce the LCD monitor 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 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 the built-in memory or a card.
