Really interested to know if there is a problem with the R5C or whether my specific unit needs repair.

I'm getting a fixed black dot (bottom right corner) in video mode only, regardless of what lens I use. This dot is there in standby, record, and clearly visible when I open the file on computer. Its small and I can edit out, but....

Anyone else with an R5C who can check on that for me?

I don’t have that on my R5c and I’ve only used it in video mode. It sounds like a sensor issue but I don’t know why it would only be there in video mode. Rather than send it in for repair, you might want to investigate an exchange with your retailer. Short supplies may make that difficult, but it’s worth a try.
