Description

I shorted the LCD connection (on the camera) when I completely disassembled this camera to repair the LCD (even though I didn't need to). So I had the idea of making another display (external) that was attached to the body by a suction cup.

While it does work, the display is very dim even at 100% brightness outdoors on a day like today (blue sky, no clouds, sunny).

It is usable but I'm not sure if it's worth it.
