LCD monitor
The LCD monitor 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 on the LCD
monitor. These points are normal
results of the manufacturing process
and do not affect the recording in any
way.
Camcorder temperature
If you use the camcorder
continuously for a long time, the
camcorder gets very warm. This is not
a malfunction.	GB
