Hi everyone,
I am a newbie and i just bought my 450D kit 2 weeks ago.
I cant help but notice that the some of the AF points in the viewfinder (bottom 3 AF points to be specific) seem to be out of focus while the other points looks very sharp in comparison. I tried adjusting the knob near the viewfinder (to focus all the points) but it doesnt work, as the same 3 points are still out of focus.
I brought the camera back to CP (where i bought the camera) to ask them to check. The salesman noted the same problem but he says its not a fault cause if we look long enough the 3 points will start to focus (thats what he says but i don see any change). To convince me further, he showed me another 450D which has exactly the same problem. Then showed me a 50D, this time round the out of focus AF point is the top one.
So he just told me that this might be a manufacturing fault by CANON, and ask me to send to service center to check if this problem is registered.
Hence i am just wondering if this problem is common in all 450D and if any one is experiencing this problem?
This i a rather small problem but it is very disturbing when i take pics. Should i head down to
CSC to check? or simply ignore it?
Thanks for your help in advance!
