On the monitor and lens
The monitor is manufactured using extremely high-precision technology so over 99.99 %
of the pixels are operational for effective use. However, there may be some tiny black
points and/or bright points (white, red, blue or green in color) that constantly appear on the
monitor. These points are normal in the manufacturing process and do not affect the
images in any way.
Exposing the monitor or lens to direct sunlight for long periods may cause a malfunction.
Exercise caution when placing the product near a window or outdoors.
Do not press against the monitor. The monitor may be discolored and that may cause a
malfunction.
Images may trail across on the monitor in a cold location. This is not a malfunction.
If the monitor has drops of water or other liquids on it, wipe it with a soft cloth. If the
monitor stays wet, the surface of the monitor may change or deteriorate. This may cause
a malfunction.
In addition, the monitor may be darker than usual at first.
Make sure not to bump the lens or subject it to force.
