As I said it not really a problem; its just if the GGS does make it a lot worse, I'd take it off and take the risk.

Jul 07, 2012 15:39 | #9 Check to see if the LCD brightness can be adjusted through the camera's menu. That helped with a T2i, where increasing the brightness made the LCD images easier to see. Submariner wrote in post #14683764 I was taking a number of pic of a friends horse, in a field on a very bright sunny day. I had a lot of difficulty seeing the images to review on the LCD? It was so bad much of the time I just had to hope for the best! Could this be because I was using a GGS Canon 7D LCD protector? Or is this just how it is? and does one just trust whhat you see in the viewfinder until you get home! Yeah you guess I'm new to this............really thinking about when we go to Barbados! That will be fun!

You should be able to see the LCD if you shade it with your hand, and even without perhaps. Past Equipment | My Personal Gallery

Adjusting LCD brightness does not help much. I use LiveView a lot and the only solution I found that works is to get a cover for the LCD that blocks out all the light. Too boot, they also magnify the image resulting is a larger view.

Sine the 7Ds screen comes from the factory with a replaceable cover I don't add a protector. When shooting at the beach or other high light area I use a Hoodman clone.
