I can still see the numbers just fine in the top LCD screen, so it's not that big of a deal. My concern is that might indicate some deeper problems. Any thoughts on the matter? Diopter setting way off = unreadable info? Alexander R.O.

Do you mean some of the segments that make up the numbers are out so that you can't read the numbers correctly? If so, then definitely pass.. It doesn't sound like that would be an easy fix.

Yes, some numbers are missing lines and instead of "8", it might look like inverted "E", missing couple of vertical lines on the right. Bunnies will rule the world!

I shoot in manual too much and use the viewfinder display constantly. Rick
