•
images appearing on the viewfinder and LCD
monitor and those displayed on a TV monitor. To
see how the final images will appear, check them
on a TV monitor.
Using the viewfinder

The pixels of the LCD monitor are controlled
•
to obtain high precision with 99.99 % of the
effective pixels. This leaves less than 0.01 %
of pixels that may not light or may remain on
all the time. These phenomena are normal and
will have no effect on the images you shoot.
