Maybe it has to do with lens speed? A F1.4 lens is going to have a much brighter image than a F4 lens, so the brighter image of a faster lens might be what is washing it out? I'll have to try the ZX-M and my 50mm F1.4 lens on a bright day. Todd At 12:28 AM 3/30/01 -0500, you wrote: >You haven

I have both MZ-M and MZ-5n and the problem is the same. Actually, I think that it is a fact. All MZ/ZX camera reviews point out this as a weak point: 'meter readings difficult to see in bright light' Jaume --- Todd Stanley <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I have never had this problem with the

What lens are you experiencing with? I guess fast lens would bright up the viewfinder causing the problem in bright sunny days. What if you use the DOF preview to step down the lens and read the information? Herbet. --- Joseph Tainter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Is it just my eyes, or do other

You haven't? You must have some special ZX-M then. I have the "M" (and I like it too), but on a bright sunny day my viewfinder's LEDs all but disappear... Skip > > I have never had this problem with the ZX-M. I don't know why the ZX-5n is > different. > > Todd > > At 08:59 PM 3/29/01 -0500, you

Same thing with the ZX-M. Viewfinder LED's just disappear in bright light. Damn dumb engineering is right! Skip - Original Message - From: "Alexandre A. P. Suaide" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, March 29, 2001 2:03 PM Subject
