About the LCD and viewfinder screen: The screens are produced with
extremely high-precision manufacturing techniques, with more than
99.99% of the pixels operating to specification. Less than 0.01 % of the
pixels may occasionally misfire or appear as black or green dots. This
has no effect on the recorded image and does not constitute a
malfunction.
