Meccca Posted January 1, 2021 Share #1 Posted January 1, 2021 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hi, i bought my new SL just month ago and yes it was unopened. Manufacture date May 2016. There is some magenta color on the evf everywhere. Evf picture looks really different when compairing it to main screen It’s really visible with snow and other white backgrounds. Here is some pictures taken with Canon Ixus95 through viewfinder. Iphone doesn’t show these colors like my old small canon and that canon lens fits perfectly inside the eyepiece. I updated firmware from first to newest month ago. Is this just old technology evf or is there something wrong with it? Welcome, dear visitor!

farnz Posted January 2, 2021 Share #2 Posted January 2, 2021 Give the SL a factory reset through the menu to see if that clears it up. Pete. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meccca Posted January 2, 2021 Author Share #3 Posted January 2, 2021 Thank you for the advice but unfortunately it did not helped. Could this be the same issue? but there is no solution for that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slender Posted January 2, 2021 Share #4 Posted January 2, 2021 Buying a new SL601 last month? Wow I hope you had a massive discount... as for the EVF it doesnt look normal. Hope you have a warranty at the very least. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marac Posted January 2, 2021 Share #5 Posted January 2, 2021 This is not normal, return the SL for a refund or repair. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyboy Posted January 2, 2021 Share #6 Posted January 2, 2021 It is a fault in the EVF, the SL601 EVF is bright, sharp and has a good contrast. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meccca Posted January 3, 2021 Author Share #7 Posted January 3, 2021 Advertisement (gone after registration) Thank you all for the answers! Yes i have full warranty because camera was new when i bought it. It was cheaper than used ones and it was also last one from Leica importer. I have to contact straght to Leica and ask for opinion. This really sucks because finally i have my dream camera and it is faulty. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
