DRS-SR290 LCD Screen

I have a DSR-SR290 HDD Camcorde My problem is : In bright sunlight I cannot see the LCD Screen therefore when trying to record activities I just have to hope that I am pointing the camera at the right place(totally useless). Can an eyepiece viewfinder be attached to this camera

Hello colin2712 - Welcome to the Sony Forums

There are currently no optical viewfinders listed on the official compatibility page but one alternative would be a sun guard like this one which is available for under £10:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Delkin-Devices-Universal-Pop-Up-Shade/dp/B001J67JHQ/ref=pd_bxgy_ce_text_c

This should be ideal for the 2.7" screen on the SR290 and offer better visibility in bright sunlight.

Thanks,

Simon
