I have a brand new EVF. Yesterday I was shooting and during a very long take, the viewfinder started acting a bit funky.Basically it does a very quick flickering, image appearing and disappearing with different frequency. Not a constant one, just once in a while it flickers. Almost like a TV tuning in in the old times.I need to double check all the recorded stuff, but it does not seem to have issues there.I also saw a message on the screen at a certain point during the shoot (I think after a power up) about the viewfinder firmware not upgrading. Never did it again.

My EVF is plugged to the front port, and I do not use the monitor.Anyhow today I was looking at it, and still seems to have similar issues. I cannot seem to locate the viewfinder in the external module in system settings, which I think it is normal. But something does not seem right to me. Not an easy thing to replicate.

Does anybody have similar issues?
Do you know if there is a compatibility issues with the new DSMC2 EVF and the DSMC1 system?
Suggestions? It is not cheap, and it should work without that issue. I'll test a different cable today, just in case.

EDIT - I actually tried a different cable. Now I have monitor that is Blue, and the EVF does not power at all.
Is the EVF/LCD port going? I am quite freaking out as I have 2 shoots coming...

Two questions.

- Are you on the current firmware?
- Are you using RED or 3rd party cables?
 
- Latest firmware.
- Tried 2 RED cables and a WC one.

I opened a support ticket. My assumption is the port on the brain.
But I was wondering if it some other issue that happened to someone else.
