LCD Panel The liquid crystal panel used for the monitor screen and viewfinder employs high- precision technology that provides a pixel yield of 99.99%. This means that some very small number of pixels may not light or may remain lit at all times. This is due to the characteristics of the liquid crystal panel, and does not indicate malfunction.
