I just bought a new Canon 580ex2, on the LCD panel on the lower left side there seems to be a brownish area that looks like its burned. Has anybody else noticed this on there flash?
Should I send it back to Adorama for replacement?

Its really up to you - with LCD (liquid crystal displays) sometimes the membranes get compressed and when that happens you get colorization on the display - it normally doesn't affect the life of the lcd - but if it bugs you send it back.

This is normal. Go shoot.


people will always try to stop you doing the right thing if it is unconventional
Full frame and some primes.

Call Adorama, (There working on Thanksgiving:shock:) and said to send it back that it is defective. Ask me to call Canon to see if there is an easy fix first.

Then I read the reply post, wow I wouldent have thought it was normal, so does yours have the same disscoloration?

It does bother me that I just spent $400. and it looks like this.

Both mine do it when hot or cold. This is normal for LCD displays.
