Step by Step LCD view finder for Olympus Pen E-PL1

[Killerwill36]

Hi guys I really need to find a viewfinder for this camera
you can't mount more than one accessory port attachment so I figured
a diy LCD viewfinder was my second option. I am looking for detailed instructions
on a diy LCD viewfinder, does anyone have any tips or instructions?

Thanks!

Doesnt this camera have an optional electronic EVF? Its even adjustable.

Otherwise the one I made for the big 7D which is not electronic but is used on the LCD can be your guide, just modify it to fit your cam.

I followed Teddy's guide almost to the letter and then added my own tweaks to fit my needs. It took some trial and error, as I practically have no DIY experience, but I finally got it to work. I would highly recommend following his guide.

Like i said in my post it does have attachments but you cannot use more than one at a time I find myself using the sema-1 for audio more than I would use that electronic viewfinder.
I think I'll stick to his guide thanks for the help!
