Viewfinder

I can't see a picture in my viewfinder canon Eos Rebel T5 until I take the picture. New to the cannon family and a general starting in photography. Please help, I think that using the viewfinder would make better photos

Or you are in Live View mode. Your switch points to the camera icon?  It should be in the middle position.

  • Viewfinder LUT vs exposure tools (Zebra / waveform)

    Hi guys,.

    Discussions on our new found access to MLUTs and the AE CINE was great, thanks for all the info fascinating so far. So forgive me if this has already been covered, but I have two questions:

    (A).. .for MLUTs in the viewfinder to be of any practical, why use the waveform monitor and the Zebra reacts to the MLUT when applied, as opposed to the same as if the MLUT has not been applied to all? IE - as an image in the viewfinder as slog2 sgamut my Zebra / wave give me information of the exhibition which is very useful (next to my light meter) but when I apply, say, the REC709 MLUT of the VF, news of Zebra and waveform to adapt to the new image - so REC 709 points out, blow and my zebras tell me now that the parts of the image is blown... But I'm still recording to SxS cards like sLog2 sLog2 - so, in reality, this info is not get blown at all.

    So what I mean: the REC709 MLUT is ideal to boost the brightness etc. in the viewfinder and makes the image easier on the eye than the image dark sLog2, but I always feel like my tools of exposure to expose properly for the image being recorded to the card (in this case sLog2). I hope that all makes sense... Accept others, or am I missing something here?

    and the second point is:

    (B).. .throughout all the upgrades for the camera by setting the number 2 zebras at 109% don't turn on for me in the VF, despite an image being obviously blown. No more than 108%, or 107%. However the zebras behave corectly to 106% and will show the 'Zebra lines' when the image is burned.

    Is there a reason why 109% zebras does not illuminate, or am I missing something here too?

    Thanks for all your comments guys - happy shooting.

    Hi guys,.

    I don't have it if the table on the right, but here's my question...

    Disabling automatic switching between the lcd and the viewfinder on the Sony A7Sii?

    Thanks in advance,

    Zia

    Hi @dslrshooters,

    could you please change your message header to match the content of you post.

    in the A6300, you can change the way in which the camera automatically switches between NET & screen in

    Menu custom (cog symbol): FINDER/MONITOR.

    with a little luck, you have the same menu on the 7Sii.

  • Viewfinder options

    Hello

    The viewfinder of my PMW350 fit the F5? Is the same connector? He displays a conversion of 2K 1080 or works only when you're shooting 1080/720?

    Thank you

    Andy,

    It is not only of the resolution, the new LCD contrast is also significantly better and communication of metadata, etc.

    There are currently no plans to provide an adapter

  • Viewfinder cable angle + clip... WHEN?

    Hello

    Someone at - it an update on the new angled viewfinder cable and the clamp that was announced earlier and should be out but dealers here in the United Kingdom have no word yet...? !

    I'll buy a F5 with VF OLED and hope that cable would be part of the new purchases, but I feel that it will be...

    All learn about this part is very much appreciated!

    See you soon

    Julian

    I heard that the new cable will not be for the oled viewfinder. Is this true? Seems crazy if this is the case, because the question is of course with each of them.

  • A99 viewfinder darkens

    Is there a way to keep the viewfinder of dimming when a subject is backlit. I can't quite see the subject in frame/manual. Tried the effect live power no difference. With the help of strobe connected by appropriate ttl cord. I'd like to make it work more like an optical viewfinder. Thanks for any help.

    Indeed, you will need to disable the Live View Display] setting if you want the electronic viewfinder as an optical viewfinder. Please go to [Menu] - Custom Menu 3 - Live View Display] - [setting OFF effect].

    If you are still having difficulties in framing and focus on your subject, the backlight can be too strong. You can try to compensate by adjusting the brightness of the LCD screen and the viewfinder. Please go to [MENU] - Setup Menu 1 - [LCD Brightness] or [viewfinder Bright.] - [manual]. Subsequently, you can increase the brightness level according to your preference.

  • debris on the viewfinder

    Recently decided on the Canon T3i on Nikon. After conversion unboxing found what looks like a large spec of debris on the viewfinder.  Looks like the spec is inside the glass of the viewfinder.  In reading the different posts on this problem of camera /, it seems that it is quite common.  The fans were not working.

    Question:

    What are the chances of getting a camera that has no debris/dust/dirt on the inside and who appears in the image or viefinder?

    Is there a fix for what I can do myself?

    I don't want to look back to get a unit of the worst questions... or several specifications.  That would drive me crazy.   I'm a little OCD as with such things.

    I think that the question that arises here is why are there dust inside a brand new camera out-of-the-box?  Was it a failure with Canon QC?  Was this an opportunity and returned item?  It was a demo or display item?  Good luck, it's just a fluke and nothing else is wrong with the camera, but no one knows who for sure.

    Regardless of whether or not it can be cleaned by blowing brush, I would not be happy spend hundreds or thousands on a camera to find it came preloaded with dust.  If it were I would go back.  Furthermore, if I bought a questionable dealer, I would be requesting a refund and take my business elsewhere.

    At the very least, I send to Canon for a deep cleaning and tested it.  Good luck.

  • Canon 6 d. Viewfinder is disabled. How do I turn it back on?

    I have disabled somehow the viewfinder and can only take photos using the rear LCD. How can I activate the return vewfinder?

    To the right of the optical viewfinder (or upper-right corner fo the LCD screen) there is a button labeled "Start/Stop" but notice the ring around the button is actually a swtich... which can be turned to the position of the camera or a video position.

    Make sure that the swing is turned to the position of the camera.

    When the switch is in the position of the camera, by pressing the button toggles the camera between the mode normal viewfinder vs live-view (LCD screen) to compose & take photos.
