SONY A1 VIEWFINDER PROBLEM

[Bluesmakebaz]

I have seen great reviews about the viewfinder, but mine does not seem that great. I suspect the lens, anybody else have a problem. Cheers Barry.

That's really the smallest amount of information one could possibly provide on a problem. It's like saying: 'I don't like my lens release button, I suspect the lens is the culprit.'

I suspect the viewfinder lens, my A9, has a clearer picture in the viewfinder. Thanks, Barry.

Did you try the diopter adjustment wheel? It's a tiny wheel on the right of the viewfinder. Best remove the eyecup from the viewfinder for better access.

of course, tried all the basic stuff, I was wondering if anyone else had the same problem. And can the lens be changed without a complete strip down of the camera.

Good luck with this one, Pieter!!!

Thanks, but I give up. I'm left fishing in the dark here, blindfolded.

There you go, even Pieter has tossed in the towel!

If you think your camera has a problem and you are still within the time to return the camera for a replacement window, please do so asap.

Good approach -- unless the camera is out of warranty.  But I must admit, in this case it seems to be easier than actually fully explaining and describing the "problem".
