In this particular camera and many other mirrorless cameras, the viewfinder is another digital display. My guess would be they’re required for making it easier to focus in direct sunlight. I tend to only use the viewfinder in this situation (on an a7s ii and a1)
- bradlys 5y agoIt’s also much more difficult to hold a camera at arms length to view the screen. When you hold up a camera to your eye and use the viewfinder - it’s a third point of contact. You’re also using your face to stabilize it. Trust me - they’d get rid of the damn viewfinder if it wasn’t often requested so much. Using the viewfinder is just a lot easier than the back of the screen in many situations. (Especially outdoors. Think about rain or whatever else going on getting on the screen)
