In photography, a viewfinder is a device on a camera that a photographer uses to determine exactly where the camera is pointed, and approximately how much of that view will be photographed. A viewfinder can be mechanical (indicating only direction and approximate view), with simple optical components, with precision optics and optical functions, or a digital accessory device used with digital cameras.
64-595: The Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH3 is a digital mirrorless interchangeable lens camera (MILC) manufactured by Panasonic . It is the successor to the Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH2 and was announced in September 2012 at photokina . It was available from November 2012. It is the first MILC that can record video with a bit rate of up to 72 megabits per second. That is significantly higher than the specification of AVCHD 2.0 of up to 28 megabits per second, which
128-548: A mirrorless interchangeable-lens camera ( Mirrorless ILC) , or digital single-lens mirrorless , DSLM ) is a digital camera which, in contrast to DSLRs , does not use a mirror in order to ensure that the image presented to the photographer through the viewfinder is identical to that taken by the camera. They have come to replace DSLRs, which have historically dominated interchangeable lens cameras. Other terms include electronic viewfinder interchangeable lens ( EVIL ) cameras and compact system cameras ( CSCs ). Lacking
192-631: A DSLR as possible. There are other terms that were created, too, but mirrorless became the most popular. The first mirrorless camera commercially marketed was the Panasonic Lumix DMC-G1 , released in Japan in October 2008. It was also the first camera of Micro Four Thirds system , developed exclusively for the mirrorless ILC system. The Ricoh GXR (November 2009) had a radically different design. The mirrorless camera featured interchangeable lens units –
256-638: A bit rate of up to 72 megabits per second and the capacity to use external microphones give the GH3 the potential for semi-professional movie production. Time lapse photography and slow motion video can also be made, and flagged by SMPTE time code . Compared to its predecessor the GH2 the GH3 has the following main differences: No Video | Weather Sealed | All the Rest Mirrorless interchangeable lens camera A mirrorless camera (sometimes referred to as
320-538: A built-in optical viewfinder. Its hybrid viewfinder overlaid electronic information, including shifting frame-lines, to compensate for the parallax effect. Its 2016 successor, the X-Pro2 , had an updated version of this viewfinder. Beyond just consumer interest, mirrorless lens systems created significant interest from camera manufacturers as a possible alternative to high-end camera manufacturing. Mirrorless cameras have fewer moving parts than DSLRs, and are more electronic, which
384-545: A focus of innovation, cameras like the Canon EOS R7 or the R10 , alongside Fujifilm's X-H2 and X-H2S , highlighted how APS-C cameras could offer professional-grade specs like high burst rates and advanced autofocus, all while remaining compact and more affordable than full-frame systems. These systems have leaned more on a emphasis on Content Creators such as vlogging and YouTube. In 2022, mirrorless systems continued to dominate
448-407: A frame, when close to the eye, acts as a viewfinder. Adding a convergent (plano-convex) lens makes a very short reversed Galilean (upright image) telescope . For movie camera or others with changeable lenses, outline marks on one of the viewfinder lenses could show the different fields of view for the different camera lenses. Simple reflecting viewfinders, known also as "brilliant finders", comprised
512-607: A leader in hybrid photo-video equipment. The EOS R6 was viewed as the affordable sibling, offered 20 MP stills, 4K 60 fps video, and 8 stops of image stabilization, appealing to enthusiasts and professionals alike. Also in July 2020, Sony announced the A7S III and this camera was a much-anticipated camera as it was aimed at professionals, especially videographers, as it retained a focus on low-light performance and video features. Throughout 2020 there had been major improvements with achieving
576-453: A mirror system allows the camera to be smaller, quieter, and lighter. In cameras with mirrors, light from the lens is directed to either the image sensor or the viewfinder . This is done using a mechanical movable mirror which sits behind the lens. By contrast, in a mirrorless camera, the lens always shines light onto the image sensor, and what the camera sees is displayed on a screen for the photographer. Some mirrorless cameras also simulate
640-520: A sealed unit of a lens and sensor, instead of the lens only being interchangeable. This design was different from other mirrorless cameras, and received mixed reviews, primarily due to its higher cost. The 2010's Following the introduction of the Micro Four Thirds system, several other cameras were released by Panasonic and Olympus, with the Olympus PEN E-P1 (announced June 2009) being
704-407: A simple arrangement of two wire rectangles, a smaller one nearer the eye and a larger one further away, was used, without optics; the two rectangles were aligned so the smaller one was centered in the larger, and the larger rectangle would give an indication of what would be included. Cameras with sportsfinders usually had optical viewfinders also. A single divergent (plano-concave) lens, in front of

Such viewfinders were integrated into box cameras , and fitted to the side of folding cameras . These viewfinders were fitted to inexpensive cameras. Twin-lens reflex (TLR) cameras use a viewfinding lens with
832-463: A spring back where springs hold the ground glass at the focus plane until a photographic plateholder is slid in front of it. Spring backs usually had a flip-up cover protecting the ground glass. A black focusing cloth was used with larger models. Later referred to as "sports finders", for many sports and newspaper applications optical viewfinders gave too small an image and were inconvenient to use for scenes that were changing rapidly. For these purposes
896-692: A stacked BSI Live MOS sensor and up to 50 fps of continuous shooting, appealing to wildlife and action photographers. In March of 2022, the Panasonic LUMIX BS1H earned Netflix approval, further highlighting the growing acceptance of mirrorless cameras in high-end filmmaking. Additionally, the Nikon Z9 was honored with the prestigious "Camera of the Year" and "Readers Award" at the Camera Grand Prix 2022, recognizing its groundbreaking performance and impact on

The Mark II model retains a Micro Four Thirds image sensor of 17.3x13 mm and features a 20.4 megapixel resolution sensor, representing a new generation of mirrorless cameras competitive with and in many respects superior to DSLR cameras. In early 2017, Sony announces the Alpha-9 mirrorless camera, offering 693 autofocus points, and 20 frame-per-second shooting. In October Sony announces
1024-465: A traditional viewfinder using a small screen, known as an electronic viewfinder (EVF). DSLRs can act like mirrorless cameras if they have a " live view " mode, in which the mirror moves out of the way so the lens can always shine onto the image sensor. Many mirrorless cameras retain a mechanical shutter . Like a DSLR, a mirrorless camera accepts interchangeable lenses. Mirrorless cameras necessarily have shorter battery life because they need to power
1088-435: Is a digital camera with a digital sensor the same size as 35 mm format ( 36 mm × 24 mm ) film. Cameras that have a smaller sensor than full-frame (such as APS-C and Micro Four Thirds ) differ in having a crop factor . Digital cameras with a larger sensor than full-frame are called medium format, after medium format film cameras that use the 120 and 220 film formats (although their sensors are generally much smaller than

A button can change the hybrid function to electronical viewfinder by blocking the image through the optical viewfinder with moving a half mirror prism to be a straight up mirror. Viewfinders are used for virtually all cameras whether still or movie, film, electronic analog (Television) or digital. Many digital sensor cameras do not have
1216-469: Is an advantage to electronic manufacturers (such as Panasonic, and Samsung), while reducing the advantage that dedicated camera manufacturers have in precision mechanical engineering . Sony's entry level full frame mirrorless α7 II camera has a 24- megapixel 5-axis stabilised sensor, but is more compact and less expensive than any full-frame sensor DSLR. Canon was the last of the major manufacturer of DSLRs to announce their own mirrorless camera, announcing
1280-674: Is partially or entirely missing for the autofocus "pixels", which can cause banding artifacts in the final image. The 2000's The first digital rangefinder camera commercially marketed was the Epson R-D1 (released in 2004), followed by the Leica M8 in 2006. They were some of the first digital lens-interchangeable cameras without a reflex mirror, but they are not considered mirrorless cameras because they did not use an electronic viewfinder for live preview, but, rather, an optical viewfinder. Compact cameras with large sensors, technically akin to
1344-500: Is possible to have a camera so compact and relatively affordable (comparing to traditional cinema cameras ) could meet the high standards of a professional camera for film making. The 2020s In July 2020, Canon announced both the EOS R5 and R6 as a way to bring more Mirrorless cameras to their line up. The EOS R5 camera was so significant as it was the first camera to be capable of 8K RAW video recording at up to 30 fps, positioning it as

In August, Nikon announced its new full-frame mirrorless Z 6 and Z 7 cameras, both using a new lens mount . Canon announced its first full-frame mirrorless model, the EOS R , and its own new lens mount the next month. At
1536-637: The Canon EOS M in 2012 with APS-C sensor and 18 mm registration distance similar to the one used by NEX. In the longer term Olympus decided that mirrorless may replace DSLRs entirely in some categories; Olympus America's DSLR product manager speculated that by 2012 Olympus DSLRs (the Olympus E system) might be mirrorless, though still using the Four Thirds System (not Micro Four Thirds). Panasonic UK's Lumix G product manager John Mitchell, speaking to
1600-616: The Canon EOS R5 as it now shooted video with 8K at 30fps, 4K at 120 fps, and had showcased a 9.44-million-dot OLED EVF with a 240 Hz refresh rate. The Alpha 1 was aimed to unify both photography and videography at a professional level. A day later, Fujifilm releases the GFX 100s and it had a smaller and lighter body holding a 102 MP medium-format sensor. This camera is compared to the original GFX 100 with 6 stops of in-body image stablization (IBIS) and 4K video recording at 30 fps. Nikon, towards

On October 2019, Panasonic's Lumix S1H Became the first hybrid full-frame mirrorless camera certified by Netflix for use in its Original productions. This became a giant milestone in the camera industry by showing that it
3200-478: The image). SLR movie cameras used a beamsplitter partial mirror to split the camera image between the shutter and film, and the viewfinder. A major advantage of SLR viewfinders is that any change of camera lens did not affect the viewing accuracy, and accurate camera focus did not depend on correct linking or calibration. Some sophisticated 20th century cameras with direct viewfinders had coincidence (split-image) rangefinders , initially with separate windows from
3264-515: The indirect focusing system of the DSLR (which relies on a separate autofocus sensor located below the reflex mirror), and as of 2018 mirrorless cameras could shoot with phase-detect autofocus at up to 20 frames per second using up to 693 focus points—a number far exceeding what was available on any DSLR. However, on-sensor phase detection autofocus (except for Canon's Dual Pixel Autofocus ) repurposes pixel sites for autofocus acquisition, so that image data

Due to the downward trend of the world camera market, mirrorless camera sales suffered, but not as drastically and was compensated with increase by about 12 percent in the Japanese mirrorless camera market. However, mirrorless cameras took longer to catch on in Europe and North America. According to Japanese photo industry sources, mirrorless made up only 11.2% of interchangeable-lens cameras shipped to Europe in

In addition to its primary purpose, an electronic viewfinder can be used to replay previously captured material, and as an on-screen display to browse through menus. A still camera's optical viewfinder typically has one or more small supplementary LED displays surrounding
3648-408: The results. With the latest phase-detect autofocus available on some mirrorless cameras, the autofocus speed and accuracy of some models has been shown to be as good as DSLRs. But mirrorless cameras have shorter battery life than DSLRs due to prolonged use of LCD and/or OLED viewfinder displays, and often smaller buffers (to save battery). On-sensor autofocus is free of the adjustment requirements of
