    Hi!

    Is this normal?
    I am getting this kind of flares all the time when I happen to be shooting in the sun. Sort of reminds me of the early RED ONE OLPF flare problem.

    I am obviously not talking about the obvious lens flare there... but about the multiple red dots/circles in the picture (see full frame).

    I did a quick search on the forum and I didn't see any similar issue. Is anybody else getting similar flares with their EPICs?
    It is definitely not because of the lens (Canon K35).

    Other than that, I am extremely happy with my EPIC - amazing camera.

    Thanks!
    George

    P.S. The Port Bushing Guard is installed correctly.

    This keeps cropping up...

    http://www.reduser.net/forum/showthr...of-weird-flare - in this link you'll see links to another thread - and in that, a link to another... (!)

    Shoot with ND to control light - it appears when you're narrowing the aperture and channeling light to hit the sensor.
