Does this keep the LCD screen in focus? And is there a way to change it to bring it into focus? thanks :)

I assume you mean 'in focus' for people with less than 20-20 vision. Yes, the rubber cap holding the glass lens will screw out quite a distance to adjust focus. It's good for about 1.75-2.00 diopter. The downside is there is no locking ring to hold the cap at your preferred focus point. (A dot of silicone sealant can hold it in place ) 2.25 diopter or higher? It won't screw out that far.

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.

to me its just a fancy magnify glass. I use it to keep the bright sun light out and to see the image on the screen, it does not have any adjustments on it. As long as you cover the LCD screen it is in focus, and magnifed, providing the photo is in focus

This device has no effect on the LCD screen focus. It keeps the light off the LCD screen so it can be viewed better.

I have not had a problem with the screen but, then again, I don't use the camera a whole lot. Hopefully, someone else who uses their camera a lot can also reply.

Yes. The screen is still very responsive. I have not come across any deficiencies with this screen.

Simply touch the screen. You can also change the settings to change the screen contrast and time to stay on.

Yes the LCD gives a live view so it works very well as a viewfinder. In other cameras I really preferred the small viewfinder but on this camera the LCD works so well I almost never use the small viewfinder. The screen flips up and down (both for still images and video) but it does not flip out to the side and it does not rotate.

So sorry, I think I answered your question incorrectly! For my Nikon D5000 the LCD screen has to stay "turned around" and in the viewable position as long as the small magnetic "frame" is on it. This is what this device "sticks" to. I chose to leave it on as it is adhered with a slight adhesive and I could see it wearing away and just not staying on the LCD screen for very long. I just have to be extra careful to not scratch the screen now.

The picture remains on, it has never shut off like a screen saver, and it is a very clear picture, even at night. hope this helps.You should also know that there are many advanced features, so you wish, you can set it to keep the picture off until there is noise, and you pick the level of noise that will trigger the picture. It really is a good monitor if you can get it at a good price.

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.

Mine has done this on occasion. It will focus out and then back in but usually in portrait mode. It seems for other settings it will not do that.

Yes, as that is the camera I use it on. Because the of the articulating LCD panel you have to remove it each time you want to move the screen away from the camera body which is why I modified the small tab running across the bottom of the eyecup. I am sure not everyone will want to buy something only to have to modify it and maybe others won't feel the need to modify the eyecup. For me, it was the answer and the only time I don't use it is when I am using live view mode.

You will appreciate the fact that this loupe magnifies. I think it's always better to see the LCD a little bigger. It will help you to see if focus is off. I would also invest in the rubber cinema strap camera mount. My friend has this loupe and attaches it to his 5100 using the mounting system. Works great!

It has adjustable focus. I have only used it on a full screen approx. 6' x 8' with no clarity problems.

Hello D. DiMichele,Thanks for your post. I agree that the viewfinder is very helpful even with a LCD screen. The extra money is worth it.

No. No LCD screen comes with this. This is only the Digitizer (touch part of the screen). I have been using it for a while now and it works perfect.

It's zoomed in 2-3x further than what is intended for the LCD screen. So that will break down the image quality. It's just like standing too close to a TV. That's how I look at it. I just love that I can see my LCD in direct sun. That's the big benefit for me.

Hi Jack, Even when the sun is high and glaring directly on my LCD screen, I still can see my subject! Buy it. You'll love it.

You will need to order a new screen. But be very careful taking it off as you can damage the LCD. You can get some YouTube video to help guide you!
