Visible crew/equipment: When Michael is asking his FBI friend to look up Oliver, his friend says he could lose his pension. The camera does an odd tilt up for a second, and the boom mic shadow is visible on the friend's chest on the left side. Immediately after that, it's briefly visible again in the same scene. The shadow is clear enough to see the windsock on the microphone.

Trivia: Not really a mistake - The microwave at Faraday's home is not plugged in. Since it shows up in a few shots, it's possible the filmmakers decided it would have created continuity errors if the clock was visible.
