Techniques Glossary Viewfinder
This is what you look through to help point the camera in the right direction when taking a photo. SLR cameras have accurate through the lens viewing so what you see is what the lens sees.

Viewfinder Diopter Adjustment
Several weeks ago, I posted a PhotoTip regarding the need to at least start thinking about digital. Well, in a moment of weakness, I broke down and bought a D100.

Viewfinder Blackout is a problem in single-lens reflex (and also view cameras) where the viewfinder image is lost during the exposure- so the photographer cannot see the exact image at the moment the photograph is taken.

Rangefinder cameras The history of rangefinder cameras (RF) goes back to mid-20s of the last century when Oscar Barnack presented Leica A, the camera that started the era of 35-mm photography.

A rangefinder camera is a camera fitted with a rangefinder: a range-finding focusing mechanism allowing the photographer to measure the subject distance and take photographs that are in sharp focus.

Optical Viewfinder on a Digital SLR Camera (TTL)
The optical viewfinder of a digital SLR shows what the lens will project on the sensor via a mirror and a prism and has therefore no parallax error.

Brightline viewfinder
Viewfinder in which the subject is outlined by a bright frame. This may show parallax improvement marks, or lines representing the fields of view of different focal lengths.

An SLR camera is focused by rotating the focusing ring on the lens until the image seen through the viewfinder is in sharp focus. SLR cameras are the most commonly used camera in Navy imaging today.

He or she then had you play around with the focus point in the viewfinder showing you how to move it around. When you put the camera down, the focus point that was left active was in the upper right third of the viewfinder.

The brilliant part is that you can accomplish this without even removing your eye from the viewfinder. With the camera up to your eye, there should be a little wheel next to your right index finger. Turn this wheel to adjust your shutter speed.

By happy coincidence a number of related EOS bodies have viewfinder screens of precisely the same size and dimensions as the EF-M (ie: they were all built around the same basic mirror box chassis design).

This image represents what you might see through a non-TTL viewfinder. Although the image looks properly framed, a non-TLL viewfinder does not show what the lens sees. This framing would result in an off center image.

Perhaps the defining feature of the M9 is its splendid range/viewfinder with true projected parallax-compensating field frames that provide vertical and horizontal parallax compensation over the entire focusing range.

Viewfinder
The viewfinder is what you look through to compose the picture. Most often integral to the body, pro cameras have viewfinders that can be switched.

Viewfinder
The viewfinder is the optical system that enables the photographer to see exactly what the lens is projecting on the image sensor or film frame, just prior to the release of the shutter.

Viewfinder Misrepresentation
The other potential problem is caused by viewfinders not showing everything that will appear in the final image. Most viewfinders only show about 90 percent of the actual image.

Viewfinder Magnification Magnification applied to the viewfinder is approximately 0.7X with a 50mm lens. This means objects in the viewfinder look 70% as big as they do with the naked eye.

Vignetting A fall-off in brightness at the edges of an image, slide, or print. Can be caused by poor lens design, using a lens hood not matched to the lens, or attaching too many filters to the front of the lens.

Viewfinder. The device in a camera used to frame the image. With an SLR camera, the viewfinder is also used to focus the image if focusing manually.

Viewfinder
A window that is used for checking the scope of the picture. You can check the composition and the focus point of the picture. Two types of viewfinders are available.

Rangefinder
This camera featues a viewfinder separate from the picture-taking lens, and is thus different from a SLR.

Rangefinder - A camera with this feature actually calculates the distance between it and the subject, notifying the user when the subject is in focus.
Raw Data - Uncompressed data that comes from the CCD.

Rangefinder
A type of viewfinder that uses one lens for focusing light onto the focal plane, and another for framing your image. Optically, a rangefinder is much less complicated, and therefore less expensive, than an SLR configuration.

-Viewfinder is a system used for composing and sometimes focusing the subject. There are several types: direct vision, optical, ground glass or reflex.
-Viewpoint is the position of the camera in relation to the subject.

Rangefinder Camera: A camera with a rangefinder focusing system, which provides a double image of the subject in a small central area of the viewfinder. When in focus the double image appears as a single image.

Viewfinder
System used for composing and/or focusing the subject being photographed.

Viewfinder
Peer through the viewfinder and check for dust specks, dirt, signs of mildew and fog. Dust can appear as a few spots, many spots, in groups or spread around. Mildew can appear as threads, random cracks, rooted lumps.

The viewfinder on our camera is through-the-lens, so we shouldn't have a problem with parallax.

LCD Viewfinder:
We expect to start to see a new generation of LCD viewfinders that will be made using what are known as OLEDs, that is Organic Light Emitting Diodes.

LCD viewfinder
A small screen on the back of a camera that displays what the lens sees. It is used to compose the picture, choose settings, focus and frame an image in macro mode. It is also used to view photos stored on the memory card.

Viewfinder
The viewfinder shows you the picture you have framed through the camera and lens. Some viewfinders include a grid pattern of lines or a series of dots that would be a grid if connected by lines.

VIEWFINDER BLACKOUT
When you take a picture with a digital SLR, its mirror must swing up so the light can strike the shutter and image sensor. While up, you can't see through the viewfinder. This viewfinder blackout should be as short as possible.

Viewfinder cameras like the Motormarine IIEX and Nikonos require the shooter to estimate the distance to the subject and then manually adjust it on the lens. Wrong distance estimates result in out-of-focus pictures.

Viewfinder: This is another important part of any camera that some people overlook. There are those who look for fastest shutter speeds, fastest film advance, super fast autofocus, more and more custom functions, and other cool extra stuff.

The finder does not show exactly what the lens sees
The offset from the lens leads to easy misalignment, especially at close range
Depth of field (the degree of front to back focus) can't be previewed.

The simplest and most common type in use.

The viewfinder's light path is directed from the lens via a mirror and prism, so that the photographer can see the image through the lens itself.
