    Looks like a drop of hot glue as the Extreme uses this to hold the GG. If you can't zoom in enough to clear it or if it's a problem with the image you're gonna need to send it in as it's not a good idea to try and fix it yourself.

    Thank you so much.
    Yes,when zoom in I can cut the drop, but I don't know if I loose a big part of 35mm frame or I'm out "safe area".
    In other words, I cut the final frame or not?

    Thank you again.

    Put a piece of 8 1/2 x 11'' paper horizontally on the wall (landscape) and stand about 2 ft away with a 50mm lens. The paper should just about cover the frame.

    Realistically, I would just send it in for maintenance. Letus' turnaround time is extremely short (a week including shipping back) and they'll not only fix the drop but if there's old or worn out components they'll replace that as well. For a few bucks it's well worth it.
