If I took a photo of this scene, what would the photos look like? Shoot photos to fulfill your curiosity of: Shoot to see what the world looks like photographed – Garry Winogrand What would this look like in black and white, or black and red? I’m just curious before taking a picture: Thus, when I’m using the electronic viewfinder with that black and red preview, it further abstracts reality - which makes it fun to look at random stuff! It’s very interesting - I think it helps me better compose my photos, and see the world in black and white. I’ve been shooting with the “night vision” mode on the Lumix G9, which turns the lcd screen totally red and black (requires new firmware update). If you want to frame more accurately, best to use an electronic viewfinder, optical SLR finder, etc. I cannot see the viewfinder lines on a 28mm with glasses and a Leica.Īlso you will never frame 100% accurately on a rangefinder, because the edges or corners of the frame aren’t precise. Problems with viewfinders on Leicas or rangefindersĮven with shooting with a rangefinder or Leica, I cannot shoot with any lens wider than a 35mm, because I wear glasses. My suggestion is to just experiment with all of them - and figure out what works for you. There are so many ways of seeing the worldĮven with optical viewfinders, you have different magnifications, different prism types, and types (SLR, single lens reflex viewfinder) vs (rangefinder window). I think it’s about figuring out under which circumstances an EVF is preferable, when an LCD is preferable, and when an OVF (optical viewfinder) is preferable. EVF, LCD, optical viewfinder- it is all good to me. I like to switch between shooting with the EVF (when I want to frame things more carefully), and I prefer shooting with the back LCD when I’m on the go, and shooting while moving.Īnd to be clear - I don’t think there is a “best” type of viewfinder. “What you see is what you get”- so you can better visualize what your photos are going to look like!
Why? The world looks much more interesting when shooting through an electronic viewfinder, especially when you’re shooting in monochrome JPEG preview. I probably prefer shooting with an EVF (electronic viewfinder) more than an optical viewfinder. I’ve always been skeptical about electronic viewfinders (thought it was inferior to optical viewfinder), but now - my opinion has changed. What I’ve been enjoying about shooting with the Lumix G9 is the epic electronic viewfinder. I’m currently shooting with a Lumix g9, in JPEG, with “Dynamic monochrome” film simulation preset. The great thing about electric viewfinders: you see augmented reality!
