Notes on LCD screen
The displayed image on the screen is not identical in picture quality and
colors with the printed image because phosphor methods or profiles differ.
Please regard the displayed image as just a reference.
Do not press against the LCD screen with excessive force. The screen may be
discolored and that may cause a malfunction.
Exposing the LCD screen to direct sunlight for long periods may cause
malfunction.
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 constantly appear on the LCD screen. These points are normal
in the manufacturing process and do not affect the operation in any way.
Images may trail across on the LCD screen in a cold location. This is not a
malfunction.
