[QUOTE="naruse, post: 769215, member: 48632"] Thanks for the replies. I tried cleaning with a blower. To the naked eye, the inside of the camera was spotless both with the mirror down and up. I also re-installed the firmware just in case (it was already using the latest version but the installer allowed me to refresh it). That didn't make any difference either. I hadn't thought about how the focusing differs between the mirror up (LV) setting and mirror down (viewfinder) settings but Needa's post got me thinking and after carefully looking at the image in the viewfinder I've noticed that there is a faint ghosting about 1/16th of the image height above the main image. This suggests that the mirror is out of position which may in turn mean light is not hitting the focusing sensor. This gives me hope that it might be covered by the mirror repair warranty. Regardless of that, the next step has to be to get a professional to look at it. [/QUOTE]
