Solution

The viewfinder uses a field-sequential color LCD (FSC-LCD) and this color breakup effect is a phenomenon typical of this technology. The field-sequential color technology is based on the rapid sequential display of red, green and blue

(RGB) fields and relies on the human vision's afterimage effect to fuse them into a color display. For this reason, if the screen or the observer's eye moves relatively to one another, the individual RGB components will be perceived separately. Such color breakup has no effect on the recorded image.
