How to use the optical viewfinder with the screen turned off? The user manual says to hit the display button twice to turn it off but it doesn't work

I don't know which button you are pressing, but the button on my G15 works brilliantly as stated.

To turn off the LCD first hold the shutter button half way down like you would when taking a picture. Tap the Disp. Button once (This turns on the grid display). Now tap the Disp. a second time (This turns off the LCD screen). Yet tap it once more (turns the LCD back on). Note: When in review mode tapping the Disp button does a whole different set of functions! So always be in picture taking mode by first touching the shutter button.

If you hit display once it turns it off. However, you will still see your photo displayed for review after you click. To turn that off too you have to go in the menu and set review to off.

Using the AC adapter has nothing to do with the Auto Off function. You need to turn the Auto Off function off. With the scale off, hold down the MODE button and press the power button (momentarily) to turn the scale on. The display will show A_ON. Press the MODE button once and the display should show A_OFF. A_OFF means the auto off function is off. Power the scale off then back on and you are good to go.

Yes. There is a view-finder on the camera. To use it, just press the little button right next to it and the LED screen goes off and you view through the finder.

You need to turn the LCD facing inward in order to use the viewfinder. I don't think you can have both working at the same time .

also make sure the viewfinder is attached flat next to the LCD screen. no space in between.

Hello! The touch screen works off an optical method, if you are touching the screen in other places at the same time it will confuse the touch points you want specifically.

When off, press ON and hold. You can watch it cycle between F and C o the display. Release the button when it is on the units you want.

Mr. Sanchez, You can turn off the screen. Use the menu/backlight key. Press and hold for 3 seconds to turn it off and press and hold for 3 seconds to turn it back on. Top of page 4 in the instructions. Good luck.

1) There is a view finder just above the LCD. You can always use that, even in bright sun light. 2) You may not have turned on your display. On the back of the camera are four little buttons (and one big one). The little button at the lower left is marked display. Push that to turn it on.

I'm not sure of how many shots you would get but I have taken over 200 pictures on full charge using both display and some flash and have more than 50% remaining. Once the display is closed facing the camera it will be off but the viewfinder will be on.

Did you put the viewfinder on the camera then go to Olympus to update for firmware? Be aware that the automatic switching wil not work on your camera so you should see the viewfinder and screen lit up at the same time.

There is a wheel near the viewfinder with - and + signs. Turn that in either direction to focus the viewfinder while looking in it. :-)

I no longer have the device, but I seem to remember that you had to set a menu item or switch. You have an option to use the screen or the view finder. Also, see that it is properly connected to camera body.

The viewfinder does not work unless it is snuggly and properly mounted, i.e. screwed into the connector on the camera. However I suggest user exercise care with camera when one is mounted.

Yes, I agree with Ashmadie66. Once system is off, hit the display button until you turn off the "Sony Demo" option. As josh says, it is a system settings are preset when you purchase.

Go to "settings - power on by LCD". Switch it to off and enjoy! There is button "power" to switch it on and off under LCD screen.
