I have a Cooplix 5700 and the view finder is blurry. The screen is clear, the photos are clear, however the view finder is not. The subject as well as the display within the view finder is fuzzy. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks rjs

1. Slow Shutter Speed

   • Always shoot with plenty of light
   • Shoot with flash (and ensure subject is close enough for the flash to illuminate them!)
   • Use a tripod

2. Unfocused

   • Ensure subject is at least as far away as the minimum focus distance for your camera - 3 feet is a good rule of thumb for many cameras

I’m happy to help further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/mike_316638c836088218

Press cursor-up/down to cycle through the available views of your photo.

This is common in older cameras. If you want to fix it you will need to replace the entire screen.

Sad but true.

Your camera is equipped with a optical diopter that will allow you to adjust the optics in the viewfinder to your eye. meaning bringing everything into focus as it should. The way I use this (set it) is to let the camera auto focus on a subject and then turn the diopter until I see the subject clearly.
It really helps if the subject is about 12 feet away (get it real sharp) and the camera is mounted on a tripod. Once set I put a little dot of paper white out on the diopter adjustment knob so if it gets turned I know and can quickly return it to the correct spot. I'm including a diagram where this adjustment knob is on your camera, have fun.

Diagram

Adjust view finder focus as you will see setting there, to view correct focus in view finder itself.
Camera is just fine because it is taking good focus pictures.

Ok. On your viewfinder, there might be a round dial. Turn it to adjust focus. Otherwise, sometimes viewfinders are like that... blurry, especially electronic.

this may occuer if you are trying to expose the camera to sudden temperature changes/differences.
Eg: From your Air Conditioned Bed Room to Day Light Under Sun Light

subaru662,
can you see the lens in the finder move when you zoom out? if not ,the finder lens is stuck.
if it does move when zooming, see if you have a diopter adjustment wheel or sliding knob near the front lens of the finder. if so adjust the lens to your eye.

adjust your diopter...

at the back of the camera next to the view finder (bottom right hand corner) is a button and icon marked SEL. pressing this button toggles the lens image from the view finder to the lcd screen and back again. IF neither view is available then I suspect your camera needs some TLC at a repair shop. hope this helps.
