Originally posted by bsamcash I'm getting something similar to that sun flare you're getting in the center, only it ghosts across the whole frame. And mine is flaring very cool instead of warm like your copy.
If you view some of Rondec's posts with the DA15 Ltd, or browse that thread, you'll see that a lot of users think that kind of starburst flare is a feature, not a bug. They manage the flare to create it or diminish it, as needed.
I really haven't had any what I consider problems with my copy of the DA40 Ltd or even the XS but I also don't push direct light shots often.
Can you post some examples of your flare?
