This display is immune from digital video eff ects and allows the subject to be viewed directly with no display
lag. Subjects are always in focus, allowing you to check their expression at any time, while a fi eld of view
slightly larger than that of the lens makes it easier to locate your subject without removing your eye from
the viewfi nder. The viewfi nder window is however at a slight distance from the lens, with the result that the
display in the viewfi nder may diff er slightly from the fi nal photograph due to parallax.

This display shows the view through the lens and has exactly the same fi eld of view, allowing you to frame
your subjects precisely and preview focus, depth of fi eld, exposure, and white balance (although there may
be a slight display lag). It can also be used to view photographs after shooting.

This display is identical to the electronic viewfi nder, except that its large size makes it easier to view shooting
indicators and the view through the lens. It may however be diffi
cult to see in bright light.
