Focusing the Viewfinder

The camera is equipped with

diopter adjustment (–2 – +1 m–1(dpt)) to accommodate individ-

ual differences in vision. Rotate the diopter adjustment control

until the viewfinder display is in sharp focus.

Description

 

This display is immune from digital video effects and allows the subject to be viewed directly with no display

Optical

lag. Subjects are always in focus, allowing you to check their expression at any time, while a field of view

viewfinder

slightly larger than that of the lens makes it easier to locate your subject without removing your eye from

(OVF)

the viewfinder. The viewfinder window is however at a slight distance from the lens, with the result that the

 

display in the viewfinder may differ slightly from the final photograph due to parallax.

Electronic

This display shows the view through the lens and has exactly the same field of view, allowing you to frame

viewfinder

your subjects precisely and preview focus, depth of field, exposure, and white balance (although there may

(EVF)

be a slight display lag). It can also be used to view photographs after shooting.

LCD monitor

This display is identical to the electronic viewfinder, except that its large size makes it easier to view shooting

indicators and the view through the lens. It may however be difficult to see in bright light.
