Replying to Camera Eyepiece problems - help needed

i recently bought a Panasonic Ag-DVC 30 video camera and just today i looked through the eypiece on the camera and it was all black except that i could still see the settings and time and stuff but nothing else so i opened the LCD screen and the picture was fine.. so i took it inside and looked through the eyepiece and it was no longer completely black but very dark and things were in black and white... im not sure what the problem is.
