The Hybrid (EVF/OVF/ERF) Viewfinder

The features of the different displays are described below.

Display Description
OVF
  • The optical display shows the subject clearly. The subject is in sharp focus so that their expression is always visible.
  • The OVF shows the area just outside the frame, making it easier to compose shots.
  • Because the viewfinder window is a slight distance from the lens, the area visible in photographs may however differ slightly from the display in the viewfinder due to parallax.
EVF
  • The EVF offers 100% frame coverage for increased accuracy when composing shots.
  • It can be used to preview depth of field, focus, exposure, and white balance.
ERF As for the optical viewfinder but with a focus preview window.

The LCD Monitor

The LCD monitor can be tilted for easier viewing, but be careful not to touch the wires or trap fingers or other objects behind the monitor. Touching the wires could cause camera malfunction.

The LCD monitor also functions as a touch screen that can be used for:

The Eye Sensor

  • The eye sensor may respond to objects other than your eye or to light shining directly on the sensor.
  • The eye sensor can be disabled using D [SCREEN SET-UP] > [VIEW MODE SETTING].
