LCD Panel
The LCD screen 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 appear constantly on the LCD screen. These points
are normal results of the manufacturing process and do not affect the recording in any way.
