<p><strong>Hi All, </strong> <br>

<strong>I have just bought this little beauty with a known fault - a shadow appears at the top right of shots - see link above. The shadow intensity varies and can vanish altogether when in movie mode and pointed at a well lit subject. </strong> <br>

<strong>Does anyone know a possible cause (sensor?) or solution? </strong> </p>

<p><strong>Many thanks! </strong> </p>

<p>Does it happen with the flash off?</p>

<p>Make sure you don't have a finger or strap covering part of the flash.</p>

<p>Looks like something is out of alignment in the lens assembly. The edges of the shadow would be sharp if it was the sensor. And once a pixel is bad it stays bad</p>
