LCD monitor characteristics

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.

Unit temperature
The camera may become warm during use. (Especially grip area, etc.)
This does not cause a problem with the performance or quality of the
camera.	Grip area
