Four failures in 10 months? That is what is called a lemon. Sell it and buy another (different) camera.

The problem with the viewfinder is a result of the diopter correction lens built in to the viewfinder. When strong sun hits the viewfinder, i.e. when you remove your eye from the viewfinder, it can burn the EVF screen. Apparently it's worse when you have a strong correction dialled in to the diopter adjuster.

Sounds like a systemic design problem with this camera as I have not heard of this problem in general with EVF cameras.

Sounds like a good explanation to me. I guess I will try to make some type of viewfinder cap to cover it when not holding it up to my eye. Kind of an annoyance but if it works, that's all that matters.
