Where's the viewfinder?

There isn't one. You can get the wrist monitor sold separately or with it as a kit. However there is also a smartphone app that let's you use your phone as a monitor. Very useful since an on camera monitor isn't helpful one mounted.

There is no viewfinder, the super wide angle lens means you pretty much point it in the direction you want to shoot and you will cover it. The SONY app allows you to view what you are shooting on your phone or tablet.

It is an extra add on you purchase. I didn't find the need for it, so I didn't get nor do i know anything about it.

Hi; do you know that this is an action camera and not a point and shoot? Yet, this camera does have an LCD screen on the right side to view what you are shooting at, but not a typical viewfinder because the camera is designed to be a wearable camera attached to your body or other items. Another description of a viewfinder for this camera is its ability to wirelessly connect to your smartphone-then you are able to see what the camera sees on your smartphone as well as control the camera using the phone. So, this camera goes well beyond the basic "viewfinder" found in "some' point and shoot cameras and "all" DSLR camera. Hope this helps Hi; do you know that this is an action camera and not a point and shoot?

There is a manual focus adjustment on the side next to the view finder. If you don't use it to set viewfinder focus, it's usually blurry. This feature is also identified in your camera's manual. Hope this helps!

My wife has the camera now but I believe it does NOT have a regular viewfinder, only an LCD through the lens.

Correct there is no viewfinder. I didn't have much trouble with the screen in bright sunlight. Took the camera to Cabo San Lucas for vacation and it worked great. And I should add that it will depend somewhat on how sensitive your eyes are in the sun and if you are wearing sunglasses. I had sunglasses with a medium tint. I didn't find it to be an issue like it is on a lot of smart phones.

There is a button with lightning sign and word "Open" below it. You can find that on the ledt side of the viewfinder.

No the camera does NOT come with a view finder. I did find one online for it but it was terrible to use and I sent it back.

Sorry no viewfinder. But the camera is great even without the viewfinder. Has a grid setting on the LCD screen and has stabilization. The 20x zoom is awesome. I now take this camera on vacation instead of my expensive Nikon.

It has BOTH a viewfinder or you can use the display in the back of the camera. I am like you, I don't like using the display. The viewfinder is excellent. There is a switch on the top of the camera that lets you choose which viewing system you prefer and it defaults it until you change it.

Unfortunately I have never received this viewfinder :-( There was some problem with shipment and it was finally returned to the seller.

Unfortunately not. It's the one thing I miss, being an old fashioned camera user. I did find that I quickly got used to it though since most do away with the view finder these days for a good screen (this camera has a nice, clear, large one). A little difficult in bright light.

Unfortunately, viewfinders are almost non-existent in non-slr cameras, including this one. Great camera, but if you're nearsighted or the viewscreen is in bright light the image can be hard to see without glasses or a hood.

Yes you can use the view finder. Though I find it easier to use the screen.

It's located on top of the rangefinder just forward of the eyepiece. It is the only button on the device.

Yes it has a viewfinder. It works quite well except the diopter adjustment doesn't go quite far enough for my glasses. Then again, my glasses are pretty strong!

Yes it does have a view finder. I really like having the option of the view finder or screen.

There is a viewfinder but it's electronic, it is a nice one at it. The kit lens is Panasonic, and it performs well, all Leica lenses in m4/3 are Panasonic made under license
