The LCD image display flickering until finishing the focalization. Is that
normal or a defect?
Somebody with this camera report this problem?

Thanks

If you mean it becomes more and less blurry as it makes alteration to
the optical zoom, focus etc then yes.

The problem with my A80 was an apparant disability to use the flash.
Perhaps you'd like to put your camera onto auto, turn on auto flash mode
and take a picture that would force the camera to use the flash, and
confirm you can actually see the result and that it's not 10% of any
normal brightness?

Thanks Alex:

I make a personal contact to Canon technical suport in Portugal and the
information is that normal. I see another new camera with some thing.
Best Regards
