Canon Auto Zoom 814 Dark Viewfinder

[Zain Hashmat]

Hi there, I just got a Canon Auto Zoom 814 off of eBay and I noticed that it’s a little hard to see through the viewfinder in low light conditions such as in bedrooms at night, and outdoors after the sun goes down. Is this normal? Do Canon Auto Zoom 814 viewfinders run a little dark? I can barely see the exposure needle if I’m not in a well lit location. Just wanted to ask and see if this is normal when it comes to Canon AZ 814s or if there might be something wrong with my camera. Any and all advice or pointers would be greatly appreciated.
