Attention!
When the SumLight ™ function is activated, the noise level in the image increases, the frame rate
decreases and the image slows down. Any sharp movement of the device may cause the image to become
“blurred”. Such effects are not defects. Luminous white dots (pixels) may be visible on the device’s display. The
number of dots may increase when the SumLight ™ function is enabled. This is due to the peculiarities of this
function and is also not a defect.
