Why can't I see lcd screen properly in the sun

Use your body to shield the screen from the rays of the sun.

go to walmart or best buy and buy you some lcd cleaner....its specially made for lcd/flat screens and will not harm it ...just follow the directions provided with cleaner and your done :)

2 SCREWS IN VIEW FINDER TAKE THEM OUT AND PULL IT OFF THERE ARE TWO TABS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PIECE THEY SLIDE TO THE RIGHT AND LOCK IN PLACE -IF TABS ARE BROKE TRY TO FIND A REPLACE THE PIECE GOOD LUCK

Here is the manufacturer's site and your model page. You can download any drivers or manuals that you need.

before check the firmware reset the camera by going into menu > settings.

Hi,

You will have to change the CCD

I had the same problem with mine, a minor fall cracked this, I disassembled the unit and one of the springs that hold the main sensor was broken, thus the sensor vibrates instead of "floating" when the camera is turned on. There are two possible solutions: The first is to get a faulty Z6 from eBay and get the parts (the main sensor assembly) and have it replaced. (If you are not comfortable working with 1mm screws, you'd better go with the parts to a camera repair shop and explain them the problem. The second solution is un-elegant but useful: If you disconnect the anti-shake circuit from the main board you won't have the annoying vibration at start, and the focus will work properly. I've done this and I am happy with the result (I rarely used the anti-shake feature, so I don't miss it). For reference, the anti-shake circuit ribbon is the one entering the mainboard just under the left side of the screen.


Ejoy.....
PS. if you have dark spots, chech that the sensor assembly is not too out of place or that a piece of the broken assembly is on the way. Realign it in place (and please don't touch it). and asseble tha camera back

There's a good possibilty that your mode switch is broken. Same thing happened to my Z6. I was able to source replacement switches, and can replace them.

This may be a dumb idea... but did you accidentally turn the screen off? Don't ask how I know this...

I think you should solve the 'washed out' LCD screen issue. Here's a link to an accessory which might help. http://hometown.aol.com/ESC2000/Sunshield.htm I've tested it on my Olympus E10 LCD screen, (although I don't use it), and I found it very satifactory. Hope this helps.
