The viewfinder image
The viewfinder of the LEICA R7 acts as composition and control center for all important information:
It lets you assess focus, perspective, and picture frame; the measuring field for selective exposure metering is clearly marked (the larger circle in the viewfinder center). The viewfinder area is 92% of the frame size; with the eyepiece at 0 diopters and a standard 50mm lens fitted and focused to infinity, it has an 0.8x magnification.
The viewfinder displays all essential data for the program you have set. The LEDs light up when the release button on the program selector is activated or when the shutter release button is pressed. With the shutter cocked, the LEDs light for about 12 s. The LED brightness automatically adjusts to the subject in view, ensuring easy reading of all display data. To avoid confusion, the viewfinder displays only the essential data in each program mode.
