On my Nikon D3300 the camera allows 2 options for framing photos,of course through the view finder and also the Monitor,i have adjusted the focus on the viewfinder as per normal and this option does work 'reasonably' well,but i am finding that i am getting a far better indication on what the final shot will look like prior to hitting the shutter.
Although i dont wear glasses all the time,mainly for computer work and reading,a sure sign of old age creeping on lol,but for pure speed wise the view finder is quicker but the monitor option is much better clarity wise when compiling a shot,so have been using the monitor option far more than the traditional view finder one.
Was just wondering do folks use just view finder or both or just like me mainly the monitor ?? of course not all camera have both options,i have a lovely Samsung camera that only has the rear monitor and that is a really lovely camera to use as its light and can be used for everyday use,but always thought that it was seen as a very basic camera because it did not offer the traditional view finder.
We have a steam rally in my village over the weekend,so plan on taking the Nikon and taking a fair amount of shots with the 55-200 lens on it,but its still this issue that am i using it correctly,speed wise the view finder wins hand down but lacks the wider information that a Monitor does.
All comments would be most welcome.
