Moshe, Check if your camera accepts an Eyepiece Cup that attaches to and extends from the viewfinder. Then you can buy and insert a diopter correction lens. An optician can tell you the strength of the lens you need. The problem, though, is that you already have a diopter lens built into your camera so you will probably have to set it at zero. Discuss this with an optician. The people at B&H Photo can be very helpful too.

Or bhphotovideo.com and search for diopter. Jeanne

I have been told by my optician that you can get these (in strengths similar to reader glasses) but haven’t been able to find one yet.

Peter, I'm unaware of clear screen covers that come in different magnification strengths. Perhaps a local optician can custom make one. However, I have a ClearViewer and it improves viewing tremendously. It's something you may want to consider.

Hi, I wear glasses for reading only. When looking at a viewing screen on a digicam (not a SLR type viewfinder) the subject or image is out of focus. Is it possible to buy clear screen covers in different strengths that make the image appear sharp without wearing glasses?
