Can you use the LCD screen instead of the view finder....

Yes, you can. However, when you try to zoom in on the subject the resolution is not good at all. I love this camera for the simple reason that let's you learn how to use a camera, its rugged, durable and takes excellent pictures. All you need is a very good glass and you'll see what I'm talking about.

There is no viewfinder. Only the LCD screen. As a SLR user that bothered me at first. Now I couldn't imagine any other way.

No it does not have a view finder but the LCD screen seems really reliable so far.

Yes. Two viewing options to choose. There is a button on top that switches from viewfinder to the three inch monitor

No and yes.. but you can change the display to not have Live View or just have a black screen with just 'features' listed, similar to a DSLR. A trick would be to have only EVF on in which case the rear LCD would be off...but constantly have the EVF on....battery may only save a little this way...EVF has been said to be a drain as well.

They fit both ways and yes you will be able to use the LCD. If you are going underwater or into humid places you will want to have those. Good luck.

Yes, there is a button just to the right of the view finder and above the screen Rectangle and 2 lines on it.

yes! Just to the left side of the view finder tucked in a very small groove! Works great!

If you mainly use AF I would not use this screen. It is designed for MF and would make the viewfinder a stop darker. I actually removed the screen and went back to the original screen because of the 1 stop darker viewfinder.

No. The view finder has a small LCD screen and shown the image that will be saver. This is a must for taking photos outside in the sun. I use it ALL the time, but it will not flip around. Not for this price

Yes. That's the exact purpose for any viewfinder on a camera. Ones that don't have to have bright and sharp back panel LCDs. Although the resolution of the evf isn't the best, it does allow for easier viewing in bright sunlight.

yes you can, but we would have to remove the rear foam piece and install a new foam piece so you can clearly see the lcd. we will have that model available soon from RageCams

Sorry, I don't really use it for taking photos as view finder. I use it to view the photos on LCD under the sunlights only. It does keep the LCD screen in focus when I inspect the photos taken.

There are 2 ways to view. One is the lcd screen. There is through the lens viewer.

Yes but I made 1 further adjustment instead of attaching directly to lcd screen I purchased the screen protector that attaches to my view finder down to the lcd then I attached the foldable 3" lcd so there is no contact with the screen if anything happens the lcd is in tact and the attachment is replaceable for a few bucks plus it has a light tape to attach the viewer to the camera and does come loose so a little glue to the viewfinder protective screen and then attach the newer got it

Yes. There is switch that you press to switch between the LCD and the view finder. Only one is on at any given time.

That is what I thought, but I wanted to be sure, Thanks. I wish I could see it on the screen as well as the view finder. Oh, well, but thanks again.
