BURNED IN SPOTS on LCD from Zfinder & sunlight

i couldnt find where this might have been addressed here yet but this is a must read!

basically the LCD is getting *burned in white spots* from having the Zfinder attached and aiming into the sun. im not singling out Zacuto here because this could happen with any attachable magnifyer. better to know the hazards ahead of time.

bottom line is...be careful!!!!!

Yep, we had reports of this happening back in 1996 with the Canon XL1. Don't ever let any magnifying viewfinder see the sun directly, or this'll happen.
