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.

range
