The sole image does not clearly display a viewfinder. Does the camera have a viewfinder?

in the back top of the camera is a viewfinder for your eye, which can be adjusted for your vision with a small stub. When the screen is open, one can view the scene you are trying to video. The minus thing of this camera is all the controls is on the viewscreen on serveral pages. Constant useage of if with eventually wear out view screen....it has happened to me. Otherwise, it is an excellent video camera with clear videos!

Yes the open side piece is an LCD display. There is also an eyepiece viewfinder at the opposite end of the camera lens shown.

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.

It has a LCD screen that is used as a view finder but it doesn't have a dedicated view finder.

It does, but it's digital. When you look in the viewfinder your looking at a small screen inside the viewfinder.

The only thing I can think of is that there is no memory card in the camera. Please check to be sure the memory card is installed correctly.

Hi - I got out the manual in order to answer this question. It is an electronic viewfinder. Hope this helps. By the way, this is a great camera!

I have never even noticed that it doesn't have a viewfinder. I take sunny beach pictures and have never noticed an issue.

That is correct. the camera does have a viewfinder, which doesn't line up 100%, so I don't often use it.

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

There is only the LCD viewfinder. In the conditions of higher backlight - often what is sought to illuminate the subject - it is too washed out to accurately compose the pic. I understand this to be a universal complaint with LCD-only finders.

Yes. There is a viewfinder on the camera. There is a button to the left of the camera to switch it from LCD to the viewfinder. I hope this helps!

No, not on this model. But, my wife has an older model that does have a viewfinder,but she only uses it on bright, sunny days when it difficult to see the picture.

There is no viewfinder, but I think the screen is easy on the eyes. Also, you can adjust the brightness of the display. Speaking of vision issues, I have to wear reading glasses for things up close. I should wear bifocals, but I am chilling on replacing an expensive pair I just lost recently. I will probably going to graduated contacts. Enough of that. I sometimes do not have the readers handy when I shoot, and things look blurry - mainly in low light situations. I have learned that I can trust the camera's auto focus, and just have to make sure I have the zoom and framing I want. Very rarely do I come away with less than sharp lines, unless conditions are such that I expected them. However, I have been pleasantly surprised in most cases by the sharp lines this camera produces when there should be everything but.

No you cannot add an external viewfinder. This is a rather low cost camera & it would cost too much to add a viewfinder.

I do use the viewfinder a lot but don't know, I have a spare battery in my camera bag just in case. Sorry I can't be of help.

mine does not have that problem or entirely by the viewfinder or on the final photo
