If I remember the story correctly, there was no finder used. During  
training, they sent the guys home with the cameras to use without  
sighting--to learn how to shoot from the chest without viewing-- 
impossible with helmet and suits.

The cameras were mounted on the chest of their suits and they turned  
body to aim the camera.

hmmm--street shooting with a hassy?
