[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 333306, member: 9240"] Mr. Fish is correct - or at least I'd put my money on it. What you're seeing through the viewfinder is all reflection-based, and when the LED's light up for the focus point, the source of that illumination is either reflecting across the edge of the Pentamirror mentioned, or you're seeing the actual source light for that illumination. I've not seen it personally on the D5300, so I cannot comment on how distracting it might be, but I suspect I'd learn to ignore it rather quickly. I do know that if I hit the focus button on the D7100 in a dark environment I can see a red illumination around the entire perimeter of the frame. I also have the option to turn off Focus Point Illumination in the Custom Menu, and you may as well which should fix this, though your focus point will no longer go red either. BTW, [/QUOTE]
