Yes...LCD in pieces. I have no idea what setting I'm on, whether the flash is on, continuous mode, etc. But it works with trial and error....through the viewfinder.

sweet pics, now the big question is who's in tahoe this weekend?
Three fundamentals of every extreme skier, total disregard for personal saftey, amphetamines, and lots and lots of malt liquor......-jack handy
