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