Hi Reg,

thanks for your hint! I replaced the flat flex cable ("ruban", but I understood anyway) - and the EVF is working again!

However, after a few minutes operation time the EVF image turned rather milky. Like seen through a white veil. Any idea even about that?

Could this be condensation - IE moisture got inside somehow?

It could even have happened as the camera warmed itself up after a long period of not being used.... we know that the Dimage 7 range runs a bit warm. I'm thinking internal moisture could have been evaporated onto different surfaces, possibly?

(Suggestion: Pop it in the airing cupboard next to the hot water tank, for a day?)

At the moment in the UK condensation in lanses and cameras is quite a problem with the temperature variation getting in and out of a car.

Yours is a good point; I don't think temperatures have been much different in Germany, Adrian!

I am 'Looking for Henry Lee ' (could be Lea, or even Leigh) and despite going 'Hey round the corner', and looking 'behind the bush', I have not yet found him. If he survives, Henry is in his mid-60s, British, and quite the intellectual.

What is it all about? Well, something relating to a conversation we had in the pub 35 years ago has come to spectacular fruition, and I'd like him to know how right he was.

If you know somebody who could be this man, please put him in touch with me. Thank you.
