    LCD Panel
    The liquid crystal panel of the monitor screen uses high-precision technology that 
    provides a pixel yield in excess of 99.99%. This means that some very small number 
    of pixels may not light or may remain lit at all times. This is due to the characteristics 
    of the liquid crystal panel, and does not indicate malfunction.

    Take a few test shots
    Before shooting your final image, shoot a test shot to ensure that the camera is 
    recording correctly.
