Extremely high precision technology is employed to produce the monitor/viewfinder
screen. However there may be some dark or bright spots, or spots that light
constantly (red, blue, or green) on the screen.
This is not a malfunction.

precision technology, some pixels may be inactive or always lit.
The spots will not be recorded on images on a card.
