About the LCD Screen
When you turn the camera on, various icons are shown on the LCD screen to indicate the current camera settings and status. To learn more about the displayed icons, see “LCD Screen display” on page 25.
LCD Screen notes:
Extremely high-precision technology has been used to manufacture the LCD screen so that most of the pixels are operational for use. However, there may be some minute points (black, white, red, blue or green) that constantly appear on the LCD screen. These points are normal in the manufacturing process and the recording is not affected in any way.
Avoid exposing the LCD screen to water; please remove any moisture on the LCD screen with a soft dry cleaning cloth.
