Is something wrong with my Canon G3 ?

[odder]

Hi everyone,

I just bought a second-hand Canon G3.
I am very pleased with it so far, but I noticed one thing that I am a bit concerned about:

When I hold the camera aprox. 15 cm from my eyes and look into the little "seacher-hole" in top of the camera I can see a very thin black horisontal line - is that line supposed to be there, or is something broken inside the camera?

It should be noted, that if I put my eye right up to the hole (as you are supposed to do in order to use it), the line is no longer visible at all.

I hope I haven't bought a broken camera :cry:

It doesn't sound normal to me. The only thing I see though my viewfinder (besides the scene in front of me) is a small portion of the lens barrel (which is normal).

Hi
I look at my G3 and I see the line too. I haven't seen that before.
I think it's normal.
