Variable information display

The OLED viewfinder clearly displays

detailed shooting information at high

XGA resolution for quick and easy

reading. You can display the data in your

choice of five display modes ( Shooting

Data, Graphic, Digital Level Gauge,

Histogram or Simple Display ) by pressing

the DISP button. The Digital Level Gauge

indicates whether the camera is level in

the horizontal and front-back directions.

The Histogram displays the luminance

distribution of pixels in the image, which

can be adjusted through exposure

compensation. And the Graphic Display

shows the shutter speed and aperture

value as graphs, while also clearly

illustrating the exposure.

Do it all from the viewfinder

The viewfinder is so informative and easy

process—including setting up shooting

parameters and previewing their effects in

to finish without removing your eye from the

This convenient alternative to zooming

minimum 12 megapixel resolution.

Three grid displays

Whenever you desire assistance aligning

the horizon or achieving a balanced

composition, you can overlay one of three

types of grids in the viewfinder. These include

a 3x3 grid that follows the rule of thirds, a

4x4 grid that includes two 45-degree lines

passing through the center, and a 6x4 grid

that simplifies the alignment of multiple

visual elements.
