Notes on the screen and lens

The screen is manufactured using extremely high-precision technology so over

99.99% of the pixels are operational for effective use. However, some tiny black

and/or bright dots (white, red, blue or green) may appear on the screen. These dots

are a normal result of the manufacturing process, and do not affect the recording.
