[hellfire88]

hey guys, gotten a cannont ql17, no problems so far except for that the viewfinder is extremely blurry and it is very hard to me to focus the lens for my shots even in broad daylight.

any solution to this??? thanks!

I am using a QL17 too. Having similar problems. But my viewfinder is ok under normal daylight conditions. Suppose your QL17 may need a VF cleaning.

Mine is having problem with focusing. When focus near objects the centre spot is ok. But focusing at infinity at far away objects the centre spot have double vision. The RF spot is "lower" then the actual objects. :think:

You can go to Camera Hospital to find Steven. He is pretty good with fixing up camera that is injured or need some calibration.

Haha. Welcome.

But if you are really confident in in your skills and want to DIY, here is a link for the exploded view of QL17 GIII. Probably similar to QL17.
