rpsawin Posted June 6, 2010 Share #1 Posted June 6, 2010 Advertisement (gone after registration) I purchased a used M8 a few weeks ago and it has been working great. Yesterday I noticed a thin white horizontal line at the top of the camera's LCD screen. When I viewed the raw files on my computer I found no trace of the line in any of the files. So, is the problem limited to the LCD screen (I can easily live with this) or is there a larger problem looming? I should say that tis line showed up after I cleaned the sensor (it showed up about 30 shots after the cleaning). Thank you in advance for your comments, Bob Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaapv Posted June 7, 2010 Share #2 Posted June 7, 2010 Post some pictures please It sounds like the LCD, however. Sensor defects often run vertically, and show up in images. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rpsawin Posted June 8, 2010 Author Share #3 Posted June 8, 2010 Jaapv, Thanks for your response. I have included two jpegs to illustrate the question. The 1st jpeg is of the M8 LCD screen. It shows a white line running across the top portion of the screen. The 2nd jpeg is an M8 file and the white line, happily, is not to be found. Do I have a major issue developing?

Ecar Posted June 9, 2010 Share #4 Posted June 9, 2010 Doesn't look like dead pixels. Slight LCD misalignment perhaps? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted June 9, 2010 Share #5 Posted June 9, 2010 That line is supposed to be there. Graphic design and all that... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
