About the LCD monitor
Extremely high precision technology is em ployed 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.
