About the LCD and viewfinder screens:
The screens are produced using extremely high-precision manufacturing
techniques, with more than 99.99% of the pixels operating to specification. Less than 0.01% of the pixels may
occasionally misfire or appear as black, red, blue or green dots. This has no effect on the recorded image and
does not constitute a malfunction.
