I always wear polarized sunglasses. Is it just me or do polarized glasses cause horizontal images on the Giottos-protected LCD to "disappear"?

i don't know but i'll check for you. i just got a new pair of rx. ray bans. i do know that it's against the faa regs to fly an airplane with polarized glasses and when wearing them the vasi lights can't be followed and some instrument output can't be seen from an angle. i haven't tried them with my mark v ii yet. my guess would be no. it's possible that the lcd might not work well with them though.

polarized glasses will blot out the image regardless. I don't think the Giotto protective film has any effect.

Hi Charles, This one is fixed at an angle that blocks the broadest amount of light. The reason being is with a gopro you constantly change directions with the camera so it would be tedious to align the polarizer everytime you change angles in relation to the sun. So we made it easy and fixed it horizontally for you. If you need one that rotates our Frame2.0 polarizer will do that. -PolarPro

Yes, but you'd probably want to take the uv filter off before putting the polarizer on. There is no benefit to using both at the same time. And at least two reasons not to. First, it's an extra piece of glass in your optical path with more opportunity for image degradation and reflections between the pieces of glass. And, if you're using a wide angle lens (zoom or "prime") the extra filter mount may cut into the corners of your pictures. This is called "vignetting".

No, it's just the way light travels through the lens. If it doesn't have a mirror to reflect off of, on to the view port it will always be reversed.

I have had no problems with my glasses. In answer to your question, not too sure. Best to check with a technical expert from the LG website.

I use mine outside in a variety of settings and conditions and viewing the images on the screen hasn't been a problem. The problem has been making the most of the on-screen icons and features (I'm looking at you depth gauge). My work around has been to become familiar in advance with what will be in place with the expected function. That makes things easier. I wouldn't suggest modifying the camera, but a good set of sunglasses and -in my case anyway- a swim mask with bifocal lenses could be worthwhile.

If yours have to be pointed at the TV, then I would guess they are optically connected to the TV instead of RF. If so, these are not for your TV. These require the TV connect to the glasses via radio frequency and that will maintain a connection regardless of orientation.

Hey there, I just had this same thing happen to my camera!!! The camera was not dropped or anything and it seemed to just appear out of the blue. One minute I am taking pictures and it looked fine, then I look down and the screen internally is cracked, the outside of the LCD does not have a scatch on it. I am about to send it off to Olympus to get a warrentyl repair, but could use any other instances of this happening as evidence that this is not my fault. Please let me know what you were able to get done.Thanks,Nick

I remove my glasses when I use these binoculars. I tried looking thru them with my glasses on...it clearly reduces the FOV because you cannot get your eyes as close to the lenses as you can without glasses on. I suspect that would be the same issue you would find with any binoculars.

I never experienced this problem with my two GF2 cameras. I covered the LCD screen with an Invisible Shield from Zagg.

Sorry, I cannot help you. I just leave the monocular in the protective sheath and wipe the lenses from time to time with a computer screen cleaner. Joe W

I noticed this in one of mine as well. HCO Customer Service responded quickly: "The filter in front of the lens is supposed to be floating around when it's not powered."

Like you, I have to wear sunglasses with my prescription in them. I have always had a problem looking at the LCD screens with my sunglasses on. What I do, is take my sunglasses off, and rely on the EVF. I am lost without it, especially with my vision. I think I get better photos that way.

I find glare a problem as well. As one poster says, "the reflection is not a bother at all", well, that makes me wonder is there is still some reflection. I have a matte screen now and love it - no glare even with direct light. I'd love to upgrade my TV to 1080p but can't seem to find screens that are matte any more. So frustrating when manufactures do stuff like this. They should at least make it an option.

no you do not. Please be aware of the fact that despite being generally very pleased with the device, the screen is very difficult to read outdoor in sunny condition or while wearing polarized glasses. Not a huge negative but...

I believe that the ipod, from various reviews I've read, has been manufactured in such a way that this problem does not affect the screen. I just checked mine, and it seems quite viewable from all angles during both menu navigation and movie playback.

Nope. Passive polarized glasses are used usually in movie theaters, which is an altogether different technology( it offers cheaper glasses but the system itself is quite expensive). Polarized 3d technology is also inferior to active shutter technology imho, which is used by most home 3D systems including Optoma. Optoma active shutter glasses are expensive, but there might be lower priced alternatives( non Optoma active shutter glasses). I would love to hear if some one else have tried those with any Optoma product. I need to buy another pair for my family members.
