NO IMAGE IN MY VIEW FINDER OR LCD SCREEN? - JVC GR-D71 MiniDV Digital Camcorder

You have not given enough information. Are you trying to see
recorded photos or expecting to see the image from the lens?
You normally have an option to either use the view finder OR the
LCD display. It usually defaults to the view finder and you must activate the LCD with a button.

Look in the view finder when recording instead of the screen. if you see the image there then the unit is probably set to look through there. Many of the new units dont' have a full view finder to lens item they actually have a small lcd screen inside the view finder. Check your options for recording.

Also if the view finder is tilted you need to close that before usign the lcd.

The image will not appear simultaneously on the LCD

monitor and the viewfinder. It will appear in the

viewfinder when the LCD monitor is in the lock position,

and it will appear on the LCD monitor when fully
extended.

problem with the lens,not with the lcd,the image fomation is bad,so replace the C.C.D

There is a small knob to adjust the image through the view finder.

Refer to the manual if you cannot find it.

Press the button marked "evf". That should move the image to the big LCD for shooting.

A known good battery.

Be sure the camera is set to LCD and not to view finder.

When i turn swicth onto Cammera, LCD screen and view finder is black ,some smears.Some time see a pictuer.
Any esle is Working good.

The feature you are referring to is called "Live View mode".

This is NOT available on the Nikon D80, and was only introduced on the D90, which is available now.

Live View mode allows you to use the LCD screen as your view finder instead of using the eyepiece, but unfortunately, this feature is not available in your model.

Try pulling out the eyepiece, it will reveal a switch that controls the focus, it maybe the problem, good luck
