Re: Unremovable white spots on EOS R viewfinder

It's really too blurry to tell. Could be dust specs on the inside, fungus, salt deposits (e.g. from sea spray).

Hi. This EOS R is only 7 months old. I cannot remove these spots at all with a clean magicfiber and a little breath.

They remind me of coating wear-spots on an old Nikon binoc eyepiece. Is this worn away glare coating? I really baby this camera so what on earth?

The pic is blurry because it was taken through a cheap desktop magnifier, the only way I could isolate them. Thanks much!
