NOTES
• 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. Very rarely, pixels
may misfire
or
may light
up
permanently as white dots. This has
no
effect on the recorded image and
does
not constitute a malfunction.
