Try pushing the small button on the side of the LVF1 to toggle between LCD view and LVF1 view. I hope that helps! If you still can't see the image in the LVF1, then make sure you have the LVF1 slid completely into the hot shoe so the electrical connector is fully inserted.

If you attach the DMW-LVF1 viewfinder firmly on a Lumix DMC-LX5 camera and push the button on the right side of the viewfinder to LVF mode, you can see LCD screen information in the viewfinder subject to you have already set the display information to show on the LCD.

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.

You should always edit your images with your laptop cover opened where you see the screen at its brightes and consistently keep doing it that way. That means you should calibrate your monitor to that specific, upright setting. I would have an image printed and compare it to your screen

On mine, what is "normal" is that there are black LCD segment digits on a blue background for about 15 seconds. IMO, seeing nothing at all on the display is not normal.

It's only the screen. You would need to get a separate kit. YouTube helps too!

Yes the LCD gives a live view so it works very well as a viewfinder. In other cameras I really preferred the small viewfinder but on this camera the LCD works so well I almost never use the small viewfinder. The screen flips up and down (both for still images and video) but it does not flip out to the side and it does not rotate.

To find the model screen you need, you have to open up the case and look at the flat ribbon attached to the screen. There will either be a number printed on the ribbon, or only a white label with no number printed on the ribbon. There are two different numbered ones and then the white label one. I will post a picture of what I am talking about on my website. Here is the website I will post it at http://www.icgx.com/screenId.html I hope this helps

There is no LCD display in the battery. The LCD of the camera can show the battery display remaining.

This is normal. To make a long story short, the viewfinder can only process so much data in real time. The less information it has to process = faster response time to movement. Further, the viewfinder screen is only 200K pixels, so it is going to look inferior to the external viewscreen no matter what. Hope this helps!

There are two possibilities. 1) the display assembly is losing calibration and the device can be reset to calibrate it. 2) the display assembly is defective and requires replacement.

I've only had it for less than a week, haven't encountered that, sorry. I use the optical viewfinder mostly, don't really look at the images until I'm back at the computer.

Unfortunetly I haven't figured that out myself. I only installed the camera 2 days ago and am working out the details right now. I am going to have a friend translate the on screen menu so I can figure out how to use it better

You will need to get a digitizer and LCD all in one! DO NOT get just the digitizer!

if you want to list lcd to eye level , it won't happen. I just checked that. However, If you bend lcd to rear way, It will be looking at you from half feet away.

There is no yellowish tine on my display and I don't know about any calibration settings.

I do not have any lines (light or dark) anywhere on the screen. Sounds like it maybe a defective unit.
