My 10x42L basically didn't work when new, until I passed electricity through it for more than an hour when it was horizontal. Initially the view just drifted up.
That was a smart idea! I did try something similar, but the IS kicked off even when the on button was held down, so my problem is not the same.
Separately, Amazon shopping eliminates the possibility of comparing several specimen to pick the best one.
The options are 'Like what you get or send it back.'
Guess we will all follow the path blazed by Dennis.
