The comfort and flexibility of continuous live previews directly on the LCD is available to digital SLR users for the first time. This ground-breaking innovation - which started with the E-330 enables framing of shots without the need to look through the viewfinder. Users can therefore see what’s going on around them while they shoot and also use the camera in situations where it is difficult to frame using the viewfinder. This means that macro photographers needn’t lie in the mud to frame ground-level subjects any more, and portrait photographers can keep constant eye contact with their model or client. It makes capturing shots from unusual angles, such as in crowds, effortless.

Fulltime Live Preview |
Fulltime Live View utilises a second image sensor mounted in the viewfinder’s optical path to transfer the image to the 2.5”/6.4cm multi-angle LCD. Because this CCD is placed after a half transmissive mirror, then the view via the optical view finder is also available. So, depending of on the shooting environment, the photographer can choose which viewing option to use. Because the side swinging mirror will stay in the usual position full AF functionality is available.
Especially for portrait photographers, two passport frames are incorporated for perfect framing.

Support for sure exposure correction |
Until now, it was impossible to check the results of exposure correction before taking the picture, but Live Preview has made it possible. As this function allows the user to confirm the correction effect intuitively, even users with no knowledge of exposure can easily exploit the advantages of SLR shooting. Those users who are familiar with exposure correction can also benefit since it will allow them to make adjustments more quickly while viewing the LCD monitor, without having to check the white balance after every shot.
