If the video heads get dirtier, the entire screen becomes blue [c].

Cleaning the LCD screen

If fingerprints or dust make the LCD screen dirty, we recommend using the Cleaning cloth (supplied) to clean the LCD screen. When you use the LCD Cleaning Kit (optional), do not apply the cleaning liquid directly to the LCD screen. Clean the LCD screen with cleaning paper moistened with the liquid.
