How can you tell what the camera is seeing? Is there a view finder?

no view finder , let it run then pull the flash drive and plug it into your lap top the see what you are getting

There is no view finder. The lens is a wide angle type and I've not had any issues with it not picking up a good field of view.

No view finder but an estimated eye site average; standing in line with lens from behind this item; surely helps with placement. viewing footage afterwards is done with flash drive and computer

Yes, it has an optical view finder, which I prefer to framing an image in the LCD screen -- even though the VF shows only about 93% of the area.

I guess I am not able to answer, but I did find a site from which to download the latest updates to my camera and the viewfinder works great.

The camera does not have a viewfinder. You can adjust the LCD screen brightness, though.

You can see through the view finder in the sun. You can NOT see the screen however in the sun. The separate view finder makes this camera worth the price. Great camera~!

There is a small wheel to the right of the viewfinder. By turning it you will adjust the viewfinder to your eyesight. Easy!

You can use the view finder by keeping the screen in the closed position for taking pictures

the screen on the back of the camera IS your view finder. It does not have the small window view finder that the old film type cameras had

Hi Jim To answer your question this camera does not have a view finder. I thought I would never be able to live without a view finder. But what it offers is so much better. It has about a 3 inch square view screen. I have the camera about 3 months now and it takes the best photos and I use it for close up photos that need to show detail. I use it for taking photos of things I sell on ebay. It does a great job. It was easy to use and alot easier to operate than my Sony. More user friendly and I am not a computer person. I take about 150 photos each week and this camera does it very well. One more thing the battery life is great. I must take more than 200 photos on a charge without flash... I hope this helps.... Ben

There is no eye viewfinder, you need to compose on the screen on the back of the camera body. Other than this limitation, the camera is brilliant.

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.

No,but the whole back of the camera is the viewfinder. Very easy to see the objects.

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

It has a viewfinder. But it's a digital mini hi-res screen that shows you what the lens sees rather than actually projecting trough the lens via optics. It's a good solution actually.

yes-looking down on the camera you should see a switch called Finder/Monitor below the power switch

do you have battery there? If you are using Canon D70, change to "M", (manual), push start/stop once. then you can view from screen, push one more time, you can view thru view finder.
