Difficulty seeing my subject through the viewfinder at times

I can't explain it but several times yesterday I tried to take a picture and the black view screen on my camera would not let me see my subject. Could it have been where the lighting was coming from? It was almost as if it was a mirror. Any suggestions welcome.

No, The lens cover was not on but thank you for inquiring. You make me smile. I have some pictures. Next step is to get them on this site.

On my Fuji compact (without proper viewfinder) I use a Kaiser 2 by2 slide viewer in bright sun. Then I can read all the menu setting and compose.
I took off the Opal/Milky diffuser, no problem except you may not see all of your screen to compose. It's helped me a lot.
The Kaiser is still available in N. London. UK.
My other camera is a Canon G10 which is one of the very few cameras
with an optical finder.
Bye. Old Jim.

Thank you, you got it right. I couldn't see the menu. I will do some research on the product and others. I was hoping there might be something on the market to help.
Have a good day.

Hallo again, Of course ! on some cameras you can set the screen brightness. If so it might be turned down. Just a thought.
The worst feature of still and video cams today is the useless
glass screen in even average outdoor lighting, unless the weather
is dull an accurate composition is a struggle.
I just can't face lugging a BIG, HEAVY SLR around.
Happy shooting.

I never could understand why anyone (except a newbie) would consider a camera without a viewfinder.Check out the canon G10/G12 and others in their line. They are much smaller than most dslr's, have most controls of a heavy dslr.Some of the mirror dslr 's have electronic viewfinders -tg

I found a uv protector for the screen and a Fold N - Go sunshade. We will see how that works. I am now trying to install the View NX-2 for Windows so I can upload my pictures. My computer is not a factory made so taking a break.
