This display is immune from digital video
e 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 eld of view
slightly larger than that of the lens makes
it easier to locate your subject without re-
moving your eye from the view nder. The
view nder window is however at a slight
distance from the lens, with the result that
the display in the view nder may di er
slightly from the nal photograph due to
parallax.

This display shows the view through the
lens and has exactly the same eld of view,
allowing you to frame your subjects pre-
cisely and preview focus, depth of eld, ex-
posure, 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
view nder, except that its large size makes
it easier to view shooting indicators and the
view through the lens. It may however be
di cult to see in bright light.
