This is is probably because the Live View sensor covers only 90% of the frame while the optical view finder covers 95%.

It may be due to the two-mirror design that lets light hit both the imaging sensor for live view and the AF array simultaneously. Probably the image displayed in the live view is at a slightly different angle than the one being recorded by the imaging sensor and the view finder (which is the one going to the final picture)

also make sure the viewfinder is attached flat next to the LCD screen. no space in between.

No. As the former response suggests, the image should not look like that (or doesn't with mine). Possibly a function of the display/screen you're using? I'll confess the colors don't look perfect with mine, but nothing as extreme as what you are describing. My wife has noted that the image has a bit of a red tint to it.

The picture shifted to the left on 1080p. When I tried it with both 1080i and 720, it was centered appropriately. Hope that helps. Let me know when you try it!

Gosh, I really wouldn't know how to answer that. I have the original (ole') GF1, the GF5, the GX1, and the G5 - none of which have the issues that you mentioned. Additionally, I had not previously heard about that LCD issue and I tend to post and read on quite a few photography forums. All I can say is that I've not experienced this at all - and I have two GX-1's (one with the 14-45 OIS on it, and the other with the 45-200 OIS).Ben

it is because of the distortion of the images, it looks much like the original nikon but the build quality is not as good, but it is doing a great job since the date of purchase that is around 6months ago, it is a great deal for the money. get one for sure

I really appreciate your answer to my question and so quickly too. Thanks! That one negative review about lines in the LCD, increasing lines, is sort of what is holding me back, but wow, what an optical zoom which is the main attraction for me, as I suspect it is for all who purchase it, but I am still on the fence here. You never know how the unit will arrive to you which makes me reluctant to get a memory card until I see it is working probably, so thank you so much for the information. Much appreciated!

Nope never noticed any thing like that. Check your TV settings, in the burn in protection settings there is a setting called pixel shift, its turned on by default it moves the picture a small amount every couple of minuets to protect from burn in's. I suppose your settings could be off the default settings are pixel shift: on, Horizontal: 4, vertical: 4, time: 4 min. This probably your problem you could try turning it off at your own risk as you may have a higher chance of burn in's and most likely image retention. You payed good money though if that doesn't fix it return it! Samsung is know for problematic plasma tv's. I wish you the best! Nope never noticed any thing like that.

I've been flipping back and forth between the SD800 and the A710. And, your pics are now making me lean towards the A710. Two must-haves for my first digital camera are a view finder and image stabilization. Just one question for you, cjw333. I noticed that a couple of your motion shots were blurry. Was the stabilizer on? Thanks for sharing your photos. They're awesome.

the screen on the back of the camera IS your view finder. It does not have the small window view finder that the old film type cameras had

the picture shown on the left is different from the one I got . When I click on the image another unit shows up which looks right but I don't know what the yellow strip is. If you can return get it and if doesn't work you can return it. check with east coast lcd where I got mine.

I've had mine for almost a year now. Unlike the previous posters, I haven't had any issues with focus. However, I have recently discovered 3 dead pixels in the CCD each separated pretty far from each other. I shrink most of my pictures for web use so it's not really an issue with me but it's not good when there's more than a couple of dead pixels in your CCD. Otherwise it's been pretty good; I do like it a lot.

either you moved when you took picture or the object you were taking a picture of was moving. turn setting to sport. Our camera died so we no longer have it. You also could be blowing up the picture to more pixels than you have the camera set at. I can't remember how to set that on that camera.

Hello,The LCD screen on the back of the camera is not adjustable in the way the diopter for the view finder works. the only adjustment for the LCD is the brightness level.Thank you Mason Roset OC Camera 949-347-1276

Hi Edward. I had a few of my pictures turn out the same way. I was holding the camera wrong and my finger was covering the lens. You do need to have quite a bit of light to take a good picture. Works better on outside shots. Good luck. It is a fun little camera. I do enjoy ours.

Yes the LCD gives a live view so it works very well as a viewfinder. In other cameras I really preferred the small viewfinder but on this camera the LCD works so well I almost never use the small viewfinder. The screen flips up and down (both for still images and video) but it does not flip out to the side and it does not rotate.

I believe that is more related to the firmware/software in the head unit. As I was reading up on this camera and alternatives, prior to buying it, some reviews said that depending on your head unit, the picture may be reversed.I would check your head unit's features, as the camera doesn't do the "reversing," the H/U takes care of that.
