I found today suddenly, the raw DNG file have 4 corners blocked.  refer to screen shot below. 

I just got this Q2 2 weeks ago, and I did not check raw file before, I found all raw file have this issue from first day in my hand when I set output raw.

The jpeg file seems simply is cropped from long side of the image.  

The problem remains even without the hood and UV filter. 

I checked raw file of another camera (GR IIIx), no such issue. 

Is this normal??  

my camera firmware version is 4.0

Thank you.

I'm almost sure it's a problem with the lens hood, poorly placed or not the right one for the camera.

Easily tested.  Does the issue occur with any lens hood and filters removed?

You will find the result of that test would be yes.  As others pointed out the issue is a developer software that doesn't apply the necessary lens corrections.
