VIEWFINDER vs LIVE VIEW // Which is best for you?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 янв 2021
- In this video we briefly look at the viewfinder vs live view screen, and we answer the question - which is right for you?
Hey! My name is Corey and I am coming at you out of Wellington, New Zealand. I am a photo enthusiast and I do some pro work like real estate and weddings. I used to paint and sketch but I thought it would be easier to simply snap pictures than to paint them. How wrong was I? This photography lark is a tricky business getting it right, but is an awesome buzz all the same!

I agree Corey! I'm a View finder Photographer! in my case it's historic! a habit when the view finder was the only way to go! old habits never die!
Viewfinder is useless when you have glasses.
That’s a great point thanks for mentioning it!
I would disagree I wear glasses and I still use view finder most of the time
You definitely deserve a lot more views and subscribers considering the quality and informativeness of your video. I'm sure you'll get that in time. Keep it up. Subscribed!
Hey Parthia Proton, thanks a lot for the watch, the comment and the sub! I really appreciate your feedback and encouragement cheers for that! Hey I hope you have a cool week and also look forward to hear from you again!
MY GOD this guy is underrated
Excellent content
Oh wow thanks so much, really appreciate your comment, have a freaken awesome day!
@@TheOtherPhotoGuy You too, keep doing what you do, you’re doing great!
I like screen more, but I found that when shooting video outdoors, there is too much light. EVF helps me to zone out all the light around me. So I use EVF to check that the focus and exposure is correct, if it is a bright day.
thanks i cant understand why you have such quality videos but so less subscribers? Keep up the good work, Thanks
Hey! Thanks a lot for commenting, I really appreciate it, and also the encouragement! I’m happy to take the time and see what happens for subs, in the meantime it is a good time! Have a great week!
I noticed on my pentax k7 when using the view finder my 5.2 fps bursts is super fast, on live view its slow, any reason for this? Great video new sub
Great video! The only problem I have shooting through the viewfinder on my Canon EOS200D is that you can’t control which part of the scene the exposure is measured on whereas you can on the live view. I have missed shots due to exposure being out because of this so I’m trying to shoot more live view now as you can see what you’re getting before you hit the button.
Hey Mr John! On the 200D can you set it to spot metering and then move the metering point around in the viewfinder? At least over the focus points? In live view can you spot meter anywhere in the frame? That’s interesting to know. I have to be honest I mainly ALWAYS use evaluative metering, I need to be more creative with metering in the moment, at least think of it, instead of just white balance, shutter, aperture, ISO, focus… need to include metering in there sometimes too. Have a cool week Mr John. Let me know about the spot metering mode for your 200D
@@TheOtherPhotoGuy sorry, that was a typo it’s the 2000D I have not the 200D. No the only thing you can see using the viewfinder is the autofocus point sadly. Thanks for your response though
Hello .my live view is accurate on focusing subject while my viewfinder is not accurate no, itried different focus metering but not lucky to get shar photo.. my unit is nikon d7100 +yongnuo 35mm f2.thank you!
Hey Nichol, with your viewfinder do you have a diopter adjustment?, it’s just a little wheel near your viewfinder, if so try that… or does it become more sharp if moving eye nearer or farther from viewfinder?
Thank you for the information!
Hey Charlette! No worries, thanks a lot for watching. Have a mega day!
Hello. Thans for this informative video. I have a question. Do you find any difference in autofocus performance when using the viewfinder (phase detect) vs Live view (contrast detect)? I mean in focus accuracy.
I am new to photography and still learning the functioning of a camera.
Hi there yes there is a difference, viewfinder focus is more speedy and seems to be more intuitive to what you want to focus on, live view can be more erratic and a bit slower to acquire. I pretty much always use tap to focus on live view, tap shoot, tap shoot and so on. I am using live view more these days for the composition advantage but when time counts I’m on the viewfinder.
@@TheOtherPhotoGuy Thank you for the information!
It is worth noting though that, aside questions of personal preference, the live view autofocus is devoid of the focus errors that often affect the optical viewfinder AF, because the AF actually uses the imaging sensor, not the separate AF sensor. If you intend to use the optical viewfinder, you really should take the time to calibrate the AF Microadjustment for each lens to minimize this error. Plenty of videos on RUclips for AF microadjustment, and it's a pretty easy DIY.
@@gregfaris6959 great info Greg! Much appreciated. This being said some cameras will use a variation of contrast detect or phase detect between both focus systems, love the mirrorless systems for the consistency between view modes. Have a great day’
@@TheOtherPhotoGuy My Canon DSLRs use phase detect on both viewfinder and live view. Live view is more accurate, because there is no possible mechanical misalignment of image sensor and AF sensor. That being said, I have seen some landscape photographers who use live view and manual focus, even using a loupe to study the image, just as we used to do on the ground glass of a view camera. There are focusing loupes available to fit the LCD of DSLRs.
Hello sir, pls I have a Canon 80D and I get accurate focus and sharp images, buh not sharp images using the viewfinder even with same settings and higher shutter speed.. pls Is my camera faulty?
Hey there, have you adjusted the diopter dial on the side of the viewfinder. It could be due to your eye relief (the distance from the viewfinder) you see it sharp but in fact it is not sharp, not sure if this is the right advice but worth to check.
@@TheOtherPhotoGuy okay thanks...
Buh my diopter is perfect it's actually not me seeing my scene blurry, but the picture taken through my viewfinder after taking focus appears that d point where d focus point is, isn't in focus and overall picture isn't Sharp
@@godswillsoulz6225i know this is late! but i’m struggling with the EXACT same thing
@@pelicansareunderrateddoes your image appear sharp in the viewfinder ? If it appears sharp in viewfinder but not in the photos for me it’s either the diopter or maybe your shutter speed is too low
Amazing friend,
Thanks so much friend!
thank you this has helped me so much
Oh you are extremely welcome and thanks so much!
I was told to look through the view finder for a sharp image?
Sounds like sound advice
Great video. So when I use the Live view on my 700D after it focuses and I hit the shutter button it takes a second to capture the photo vs when Im using the viewfinder once im in focus i can snap as many pictures as i like, am i doing something wrong?
Hey Adrian, thanks for the comment! Hmmm I think this is because when you use live view it locks the mirror up and is using the main sensor for focusing, whereas when using the viewfinder the mirror remains down to shoot the image into the viewfinder prism but some of the light is redirected by a second mirror behind the main mirror and down onto the focussing sensor which is both faster and more accurate in your model - I don’t know all the technical remarks for this but I also know the viewfinder in DSLR’s is the more speedy and accurate option as it is the primary design of the DSLR to use the focus sensor, hope this helps and have a great day!
@@TheOtherPhotoGuy okay thanks for the explanation, I thought I was doing something wrong
A camera without viewfinder is good or bad for bird photography
Not great I’m afraid unless bird is quite still, viewfinder is much more easy for tracking the bird especially while flying.
I have a canon eos 700D, was watching a guy shooting videos with his eye on the viewfinder and I was very confused, because my camera doesn’t do that. Is there any other way I can get the view finder to still work in video mode? I think the isolation from everything else will help me. Also, I have a hard time focusing properly, do you have any tips?
I saw you've almost reached 1k, very high quality content, hope you get monetized soon, subscribed.
Hey Naoshin, firstly thanks for your kind comments! Hmmm I am not sure how the viewfinder may have been in use on the 700D because of course the mirror flips up and blocks out the prism - could you also see the live view screen from your vantage point or perhaps they were using a loupe attachment to view the live view screen as if it is a viewfinder? Very confusing situation but aside from the loupe I do not know of a way to use the viewfinder for video on a DSLR. Have a lovely day and hear from you again soon.
@@TheOtherPhotoGuy No no, that guy had a different camera than me, probably with an electrical viewfinder. But I didn’t know that at the time. Do you have any tips on getting the focus right? I have trouble with it all the time.
@@naoshinsharmin8132 oh I see, yep definitely a mirrorless camera then that’s correct… hmm if you trouble for focus either use manual focus if you have still subject or use a single point autofocus mode where you can set the exact spot for the focus to catch on to. You can even focus-recompose if you use OneShot mode so long as you stay on the same focal plane.
Also if you could what be the best low light camera under $1000?
Canon EOS RP - full frame mirrorless with RF mount
Fujifilm xa7 vs xt200 plz! need ot make a decision ASAP
XT200 for sure, faster burst rate, headphone jack, in body stabilisation, eye tracking focus & a viewfinder
Does the Nikon D80 only have viewfinder or does it support live view too?
Hey Azan, I’m pretty sure the Nikon D80 does not support live view, but I noticed there could be some hacks!
@@TheOtherPhotoGuy I’d love to hear them,they will be very helpful to me
Sir plz tell me which camera i prefer in budget of65000
Hey Nikhil... thanks for dropping in... what currency is that for? If it is rupees you can get a really good entry level BRAND NEW Canon DSLR camera or even perhaps a second hand mirrorless Canon M50! I prefer second hand because you can get some great deals & I have a video about this here ruclips.net/video/Kcjc3MTA-Lw/видео.html
Do you have any idea how to fix viewfinder not working. The sensor and screen are working nicely. But the viewfinder does not working at all
Hey Logop, hmmmm not so sure on that one, that does seem weird though... could you tell me if your camera is DSLR or mirrorless? Tha could help me to think about it?
@@TheOtherPhotoGuy my camera is DSLR Alpha SLT-A58
@@logopnapalid6815 hmm thanks that’s interesting. Is the mirror mechanism still dropping? If it is locked up and not resetting it will block the prism and all you will see is black and that will also render autofocus inoperable due to autofocus mirror also being locked up. However if you can see an image, or silhouettes of blurry colour it could be the prism has dislodged, does it rattle at all? Let me know what you see in the viewfinder, and also if it makes any rattles and I’ll come back to you.
nice soundtrack......
Ah thank you very much!
You remind me of the guy from money heist
Haha, thats funny, thanks for that, hope you have a greatday!
"Later gator!"
Chur bruh!
