Hello KL Matt

But when he says he likes the electronic viewfinder because you see what you're going to get later as a file, I don't understand where that comes from. Those things have no dynamic range! It's not what you're getting in the file later IMO, not even close.

I think it's good for a JPG and when you will not PP it later. So yes, you see ca.what you get.

I have a question for you that have used modern system cameras with EVF.

In my mind I see three possibilities

  1. The view finder might try to show a usable picture, so you can see it and can frame as good as possible. Maybe with possibility to make the image darker and lighter.
  2. The view finder might try to emulate an OVF, i.e. if it is darker outside, it is also darker in the EVF. Maybe with the possibility to make the image darker or lighter.
  3. The view finder might try to show what you actually get, i.e. if you under expose the image, then it is dark in the view finder.

What do the EVF actually do?
