Is the LCD screen visible in bright sun?

Hi Karen, it is visible but not as much as you would like it. I guess you could say it is acceptable.

Yes! Obviously, you can't see it as well as in the shade, but it's definitely bright enough to see in the sun.

Normally we could see fine, but on occasion it was difficult to see underwater. I didn't have a problem seeing the screen in bright sun.

Much better than most. Like any screen, very bright and very direct sun can be a problem, but a slight angle change and its fine. I use it for Home Inspections so it gets bounced around a lot and its also very sturdy.

Yes, it is visible in just about all sunny conditions. In those cases where the sun is in direct line with the subject, just by looking at the screen at a slight angle will allow you to see the subject in the screen and you can still take the picture. I never had any problems with the sun, either. Hope this helps.

Yes. On occasion, I have had to use my hand as a shadow when it's super bright to see the pic clearly on the screen, but more times than not, I haven't had any problems reviewing pics outdoor.

It is somewhat visible. Better than a phone screen as there is not the glare you normally get but it can be a little dim at times. Had it in Mexico this fall an never noticed a problem though.

Yes, to some degree. I shot mid morning with no clouds and a bright sun behind me, didn't have much of a problem. And as someone else stated, it is better visibility than an iPhone screen. It is a nice little camera and I am happy with the picture quality.

Yes it is difficult to see in bright sunlite. But as Jamie W. answered, tilting the screen helps.

Truth be told, I can't see a darned thing on the LCD screen in bright sunlight. I'm slapping myself in the head for forgetting to think about that - twice!

It is not visible. You need for it to be always in shade for screen to show properly.

Debbie. I haven't used the camera at the beach yet, but I've used the camera in bright sunlight without difficulty (I live in North Carolina which has its fair share of sunshine). You can turn up the brightness of the LCD screen to match the conditions with the minor downside on battery life.

Not that I know of. All of the versions that I have found each has a glossy screen. On the plus side, the display is very bright and usable outdoors.

I would not say the screen display is bright like a TV screen. That would take a lot of battery power and shorten the surprisingly long battery life this tool has. It's easy to read if the environment is well lighted though.

Yes, the display itself is rather bright. The projected image on the windshield can be a little hard to see, without the film, only when heading directly into the sun. I thought the film might be distracting, but if you put it in the lower part of the windshield, below the direct line of sight, you shouldn't really notice it and it does make the numbers easier to read on a bright day

You can see the screen in the sun. The privacy protector doesn't work if the brightness is high. Hope this is helpful.

Yes the display is readable in bright sunlight. To make the battery last I have a battery management program on it and it will dim it when in doors and brighten it when out doors.

I'm not sur exactly about the types of light, but even in a sunny day, you see perfectly pictures or anything on you screen. For taking pictures, it's the best, you actually see what you're taking a picture of!

It is a little glossy but the screen is easy to see and read. I haven't had it outside in daylight so not sure what it is like there. I like it better than the screen the compaq came with , which was broken due to carelessness.I am happy with it,,, it is quite bright.very distinct images.

No. The screen stays in place very nicely. Only problem is that it is impossible to see in the sun. I removed mine after installing and would not recommend this product

no. the LCD screen only. which is difficult to see outside, but that's the case with all lcd screens so not the camera's fault.

I don't think it is but the screen is sharp and you can adjust the brightness very easiily

Depends how "strong" the sunlight . . . . I have used mine with direct sun on the LCD and it is clearly visible by adjusting the LCD brightness to +5 (use Q menu button then icon on bottom right for screen brightness, adjustable -5 to +5). Having said that I am not sure that would still be the case under mid-day lighting close to the Equator, I was shooting in the UK early morning in May.

Screen is easy to see through...more like a sun screen...no problems with view.
