Two suggestions;
1\ Try changing the position of your eye relative to the eyepeice very
slightly, and
2\ Wipe the viewfinder windows, all of them- but especially the front ones,
with a clean cloth regualrly. I find this makes a lot of difference as they
soon become smeared frim handling the camera.
