An optical viewnder is the preferred choice of both cinematographers and
camera operators. The clear, full color image enables accurate assessment of
focus and facilitates precise and comfortable operating for complex camera
moves. Most crucial of all is the fact that an optical viewnder shows an im-
age larger than that being recorded and therefore allows the operator to see
not just what is in frame, but also what is just outside the frame. This safety
area permits meticulous composition and helps the operator prevent unwanted
objects (such as a boom or microphone) from entering a shot.
