The Hybrid (EVF/OVF/ERF) Viewfinder

The features of the different displays are described below.

Display Description

OVF

EVF

The optical display is sharp and free of blur so that your subject’s expression is always visible. In addition, the OVF shows the area just outside the frame, making it easier to compose shots on the fly. 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.

The live view display gives you a preview of the final picture (including depth of field, focus, exposure, and white balance) with exactly the same frame coverage.

ERF

(dual display)

The brightness and clarity of the EVF and LCD monitor can be adjusted using the [SCREEN SET-UP] options in the setup menu.

As for the optical viewfinder but with a focus preview. A magnified view of the current focus position is shown at the bottom right corner of the display.
