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
to view that every step in the photographic
process—including setting up shooting
parameters and previewing their effects in
real-time, framing your subject and fine-tuning
the focus with the Enlargement feature,
shooting photos and movies, and checking
final results—can easily be handled from start
to finish without removing your eye from the
viewfinder. This is true even in bright outdoor
lighting and during sports, portrait and macro

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.
