The operation steps are as follows:
Short press the direction buttons to move the defective pixel cursor, and press and hold the Menu button to change the movement orientation.
‘When the defective pixel cursor moves to the location of the pixel defect, short press the Menu button to perform corresponding actions.
Add: Correct the pixel defect.
Cancel: Cancel correction to prevent misoperation.
Save: When all pixel defects are processed, save and exit.
Reset: Cancel all corrections and restore pixel defects.
Auto:Can be scanned and corrected the pixel defect automatically.
