    Question Canon Powershot A80 Viewfinder Problem!?

    I am just wondering if anyone has ever had any problems with the LCD Monitor while using it outside at night time or during a dark place with no lit up background etc.?

    I am just wondering if it is my camera :-/ Which I am hoping it's not, but whenever it is when it's dark or at night and I try using my viewfinder, I can't see much out of it, unless there's lights or something somewhere. Or is this normal? lol. My old camera I didn't expect much out of it, but with what I paid for this, I wondered if this was usual?

    Hope someone can help and that this makes sense.

    It's dark

    Jess-
    I'm not sure what to say. When it's dark, it's dark. Some digital cameras have special features to lighten the scene in the viewfinder at night. But that's not a normal feature. Try using the optical viewfinder. That's your best bet.
