My A570 had problem, and sending it for service, they have sent me back a refurbished one with complete package! This one doesn't have the previous problem. But I think something is wrong.
When I look through viewfinder the center of the frame that I see is not what actually is displayed on the LCD. It is a upper!!! This is obvious when I center an object in viewfinder and shoot. But I realize that it is not in the center of the picture taken :mad:
Has any one any explanation for this, or am I wrong?

It's called parallax. It's a common problem with some of the few P&S cameras that have optical viewfinders because you're not actually looking through the lens when you use the VF. When you use the LCD, you're seeing exactly what the lens and sensor sees. It's not a manufacturing defect.


Did you lose Digital Photo Professional (DPP)? Get it here (external link). Cursing at your worse-than-a-map reflector? Check out this vid! (external link)

Thanks. Maybe I didn't accurately look at the previous one, so it was new to me. I was getting headache to send it again to the service :)
