sajeev_chacko Posted February 25, 2002 Share Posted February 25, 2002 hi, <p> i have a problem with my EOS 300. yesterday when i was trying to see a candle light through my camera i find that in landscape view (horizontal viewfinder) i could see the light clearly. when rotated by 90 degrees (potrait view of the viewfinder) i saw one more image of the candle light as if diffraction through the pentaprism. i confirmed that the problem is not due to the lens. i kept the body horizontal and rotating the lens i did not find any such images. so it has to be either the mirror or the pentaprism. has anyone experienced this kind of problem. is this a serious problem. do i need to take any special care. i know that it won't effect the final picture. but i am still little bit worried about it. <p> thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lee_shively Posted February 25, 2002 Share Posted February 25, 2002 Did you have a filter mounted on the lens? If so, it could be a reflection of the candle bouncing around from the front lens element to the filter and back through the viewfinder. Try it without a filter.

sajeev_chacko Posted February 27, 2002 Author Share Posted February 27, 2002 no no. there was no filter or anything similar. i know its only due to the body. but i am not sure how serious is this problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
