Note on laser beams
Laser beams may damage the CCDs. If you shoot a scene

About the LCD panels
LCD panels are manufactured with extremely high-
precision technology that yields effective pixel rates of
99.99% or higher. However, very rarely, one or more
pixels may be permanently dark or permanently lit in
white, red, blue, or green.
This phenomenon is not a malfunction. Such pixels have
no effect on the recorded data, and the unit may be used
with confidence even if they are present.
