object moves across the image very fast, but 
this is because the unit is using MOS for the 
image sensor. This is not a malfunction.

White round spots 
like soap bubbles 
appear on the 
recorded picture.≥
If you take a 
picture with the 
flash in a dark 
place or indoors, 
white round spots 
may appear on 
the picture caused by the flash reflecting of 
particles of dust in the air. This is not a 
malfunction. A characteristic of this is that the 
number of round spots and their position 
differ in every picture.
Why does the 
displayed image 
contain some red, 
blue and green 
dots, or why are 
black spots visible. ≥
Condition due to the LCD monitor 
characteristics. Not a malfunction. Spots only 
appear in the LCD monitor and will not be 
recorded with the images.
