Digital SLR - "Why do photographers use viewfinder instead of LCD when taking pictures?"? |
I was observing how professional photographers look at the tiny viewfinder, instead of looking at the big LCD screen, when taking pictures with their DSLR. Why is that? on an dslr the sensor doesn't see the picture until the shutter is opened and the mirror moves. Their is no way to see before you take the picture. Through the viewfinder, you will see exactly what the camera sees. The LCD screen is an approximation of what the camera sees. The Viewfinder is more comfortable and exact. Also for the fact that lighting around you hits the LCD screen and then you cant make out how the picture will exactly look. And apart from the two previous answers, only a couple of Olympus DSLRs have a realtime LCD anyway. The removal of the proper viewfinder, and reliance on the LCD on most compact dogital cameras is one of the most pernicious things to have happened to photography in recent times simple! it drain the battery faster, and when you out in the field miles for nowhere you need all the power you got. and if the photographer when to school for his craft or is from the film background the viewfinder is natural for him. photography student fresno city and seven years of b&w photography{me} You see the true picture. Period. |
