Black balance is the correct answer. Same thing happens on all cameras, 90% of the time sony's masking software will cover it. Black balance the camera immediately after starting up. Then check viewfinder. If the camera us not pretty new, I'd consider sending it back to sony or swapping it out.

I'm not 100% on the EX3, but black balance usually swaps through the gain settings automatically, so you wouldn't need to black balance more than once.

Another possibility is dust on the sensors or back glass. Quick blast of air.
