In the bright sunlight, I can't read the screen. Is there any adjustment that can be made?

I keep mine OFF of the day/night auto adjust and keep it at 100% bright. Also I put a hood on it and that helps. Other than that, the sun will always win.

Quickly hit the on-off button and you'll see sound and screen brightness settings. But even at 100% brightness, direct sunlight washes out the screen. I have been using the Zumo 665 for a couple of years. I have noticed the same thing. Sunglasses seem to make it worse and I think that polarized and dark ones are the worst. A shroud helps.

There is a brightness adjustment, but in direct sun light you may still have problems. I purchased an after market sun shade to help.

If you tap the power button on the top of the unit it will display the brightness and volume.Make sure it is set to 100%You might also what to add a screen glare protector - it helps a little :-)

I had the same problem but got a little shade that goes over the top of it and allows me to see it much easier

There is no adjustment beyond the normal setting brightness to 100%. It is just a bad choice of screen and that is why I only rated this product three stars.

This is a problem with all LCD screens in full sun. The only thing that could helps is a visor.

You can view the screen but it will not look as clear as looking 90 degrees.

The unit we have is bright and crisp. I am happy with the screen, so I'm thinking you may have a faulty screen.

I have never read mine in the sunlight outside. It comes with adjustable brightness option and I believe an auto adjust option.

If you look at power save options you can adjust the brightness I believe. I had similar issues, but the brightness is usually enough in power save mode that I don't have an issue with it.

Yes Jack, the LCD screen works great even in bright sunlight as long as you are not wearing polarized sunglasses while using it. The 3 inch LCD screen is awesome!

I haven't had any difficulty using it in sunlight. I haven't taken it to snow or the beach yet though. However, since I haven't noticed an issue or even thought twice about it, I don't anticipate any problems. I haven't even turned up the LCD brightness all the way (no need)!

Bad mistake here. Go to setting and turn on "daylight". This thing is gorgeous in daylight as well as night-time!

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

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.

Hi GLG, You can adjust the brightness for the display of this device that will suit your taste. Dave

I usually don't have too much of an issue seeing my screen. I usually set it to brightest screen mode. You can add a GPS visor from these folks. Pretty cheap but effective. Helps protect screen when out of cradle too. http://www.glarestomper.com

Brightness cannot be adjusted, however you can adjust contrast by: Pressing the MENU/SHUFFLE button 5 times. You'll see "CONT:10" on the display. Adjust the contracts to your desired level by pressing the &lt;&lt; and &gt;&gt; buttons. For further assistance, please email support@satechi.com. Thank you, Satechi Technical Support

yes, screen is visible in sunshine, in fact visibility in sunshine was improved after install.

Not really. It darkens the screen somewhat, but does not make it easier to read in sunlight.

Maybe the brightness is too low. Try to change it. There is a Pin that can change the brightness. My screen worked with a 1 V input. Good luck!

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