blue dot on EVF of my R6mark2

Hi everyone!

in my second day of using my new R62, a blue dot appears in the EVF when finding views, but it will disappear automatically in about 20 seconds, and appear again when I move my eye from screen to EVF. 

It looks small but it bothers me a lot since it alway catchs my attention, and, it makes this expansive stuff imperfect. I wonder if it's a commen bug like stuck or dead pixels and, shall I contect Canon service for this and try to return it and buy a new one? 

Hopefully you can give me some suggestions, thank you!

Greetings Jesse_Pinkman,

I'm sorry to hear that the blue dot that the EVF on your EOS R6 Mark II is displaying is causing issues. It is odd that the blue dot goes away after a while but then comes back when you switch back to using the EVF. It is difficult to determine if this is a dead or stuck pixel without seeing a sample photo of the EVF to show what you are describing.

If you prefer to exchange the camera and if it was purchased directly from Canon USA, then you may reach out to our Sales Department for further assistance. They can be reached at 1-800-385-2155 from Monday through Friday between 9:00 am to 9:00 pm ET.

You may also send the camera to our service facility for repair if this is an option you are interested in. 

Items purchased directly from Canon USA or from an Authorized Canon Dealer do include a one-year warranty if the item was purchased less than a year ago. You may view a list of Authorized Canon Dealers by clicking on the following link. I would recommend including a copy of your Proof of Purchase when sending in your item for the facility to review for any in-warranty service or repair.
