kicit - the alpha been out for less than 18mths. if your alpha purchased from local dealer and you have reg online, the warranty period is actually 18mths. so maybe your camera still under warranty.

on the problem - did you drop the camera?

most viewfinders dun show 100% of the frame...
therefore...u wont actually get wat u see exactly...it's usually less 5-10% in the viewfinder...
if this is wat u r referring to...then no use to send for warranty oso...

Probably the prism that diverts the light from the lens to the viewfinder or one of the lenses in the viewfinder assembly has been dislodged.

Doesn't sound too serious if you can't afford to pay to repair it. Just mentally compensate for that missing 20% of the scene...
