BASIC OPERATION

Using EVF (Electronic View Finder)

EVF functions as the LCD, which can be used to observe the scene and objects and for playback, preview and menu operations.

EVF has the following advantages:

• Avoid excessive power consumption caused by turning on the LCD screen to increase the time for taking pictures and battery life.
• It will not be affected by ambient light and may avoid poor composition due to light reflection on the LCD screen.

Follow the steps below:

1. Turn the camera on and press the 📋 button to switch to the EVF display. At this time, the LCD screen will become black.
2. View the scenes and objects through the EVF.
3. Press the button again or restart the camera to switch back to the LCD display.
