I recently purchased a SeaLife Mini. I have difficulty seeing the viewfinder both underwater and on land. At first I attributed it to the prescription mask I wear. I have trouble seeing the object I am trying to take a picture of. But once on land I notice that it is difficult to view it with my glasses or for others to see that have better vision than mine. We noticed that we have to turn it upward at a slight angle to view the picture clearly. This may account for why I cannot see when trying to focus in on my shot underwater. What could the problem be?

It must just be your camera because no other person has said anything like this. Just wait for Sealife Denise to post on here. She can help you out.

Try adjusting your ev exposure also...Mine was really dark at first. Go to menu, then camera adjustment. and look for screen brightness
That did help with viewing the image I want to take a pic of. But when I looked at the pics I already took I still find that I have to tilt the camera to see the image clearly. Strange. It seems almost as if like the screen is slightly curved.

I asked Denise from Sealife to help you out. Maybe she can come up with something I missed

Like any electronic with an LCD screen, with sunlight it becomes difficult to see the LCD screen when held at certain angles. As we do not make a sunshade for this camera, we can refer you to a company Delkin who makes universal shades for LCD screens. By shading the screen, you will be able to view it clearly. Please check out Pop-Up Shades – Universal point and shoot LCD shade and screen protectors (The ReefMaster Mini has a 2” LCD screen.)
What happens as well is if you are wearing glasses, you'll get the reflection of the sun on your glasses and onto the LCD screen, making it harder to see as well.
