The viewfinder 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 appear constantly in the
viewfinder. These points are normal results of
the manufacturing process and do not affect the
recording in any way.
Exposing the viewfinder or the lens to direct
sunlight for long periods of time may cause
malfunctions.
