When recording on my new Sony Digital Camcorder. I just can't see
ANYTHING in either the viewfinder (no matter WHAT angle I adjust it to)
screen OR eyepiece when outdoors or in bright sunlight. Is there some
trick I am missing? Thanks, Mike

I'm not surprised the lcd panel is useless in bright sunlight.   But
you should be able to improvise an eyecup to shade the eyepiece.
