Menu items, viewfinder, and lens
A menu item that is grayed out is not available
under the current recording or playback
conditions.
The viewfinder is manufactured using
extremely high-precision technology, so over
99.99% of the pixels are operational for effective
use. However, there may be some tiny black
points and/or bright points (white, red, blue,
or green in color) that appear constantly in the
viewfinder. These points are normal results of
the manufacturing process and do not affect the
recording in any way.
