❍About the LCD Screen: The LCD screen is produced with extremely high- precision manufacturing techniques, with more than 99.99% of the pixels operating to specification. Less than 0.01% of the pixels may occasionally misfire or appear as black or green dots. This has no effect on the recorded image and does not constitute a malfunction.

❍Bright light or reflected light may cause a vertical light bar to appear on the screen. This is not a malfunction.

❍Bright light may make it difficult to use the LCD screen. In such case, use the viewfinder instead.
