viewfinder

Viewfinder is an upcoming video game that asks players to challenge perception, redefine reality, and reshape the world using an instant camera.

Since the advancements made with mirrorless camera systems and their digital viewfinders, cameras with optical viewfinders have become somewhat rare, with hybrid viewfinders being even harder to find. This is why Getschmann decided to dive into his physics and engineering background to build one from scratch for his smartphone camera.

Zacuto, which has thus far only made accessories for full-size cameras, is preparing for what it calls the "new filmmaking future" and embracing smartphones with a line of mobile-focused accessories, starting with a new Smart Z-Finder.

Nikon has published a short video that further explains the "Dual-stream" technology in its upcoming Z9 flagship camera, which it says will always assure an accurate reality-to-viewfinder experience.

Pixii, the company behind the Pixii Camera originally announced in 2018, has unveiled an upgraded version of the APS-C M-mount rangefinder that boasts a new 26-megapixel sensor, USB-C support, a new "interactive" viewfinder, and a $3,000 price.

If you're a fan of mind-bending puzzle games like Portal, you may want to keep your eye on Viewfinder, an in-development game that revolves around a Polaroid camera that shoots reality-altering photos.

I create my landscape photography with film and digital technical cameras and received a request to share how I compose in the landscape with the gear I use.

On March 25, Sigma announced the 61-megapixel fp L camera that features a new autofocus system and much more resolution than the original fp. The company has provided a few images captured on the camera, and the quality looks impressive.

Sigma has announced the fp L, a 61-megapixel, L-mount, full-frame camera that the company claims is the "world's smallest and lightest single lens mirrorless camera." It shares the same dimensions as the original Sigma fp, but makes notable upgrades to resolution and performance that combine to make it far more appealing.

Several Canon users are reporting a serious issue with their new 1D X Mark III cameras. According to reports, and demonstrated in the video above, some 1D X III DSLRs are locking up completely after a few shots, preventing the user from continuing to shoot for several seconds before coming back to life.

Panasonic recently partnered up with India's Dentsu Aegis Network to create something really cool. Following in the footsteps of those glasses that "reverse" certain types of colorblindness, the company created a Panasonic G90 with a specially designed viewfinder lens that lets colorblind photographers see color.

Users of Fujifilm's brand new and much-anticipated X-Pro3 rangefinder have started reporting a troubling issue with their viewfinders. A number of users have taken to both DPReview and the FujiX Forum over the past few weeks to report that their cameras' EVFs have "all of a sudden" started showing a wildly overexposed image and preview, making them impossible to use.

Well-known London street photographer Nick Turpin has started a new point-of-view video series to allow people to "come along for the ride" as he creates his work. The 17.5-minute video above is a look into how he works and things on the streets of the UK's capital.

Here's a new short film titled "Peripheral" by freelance film photographer and cinematographer Casey Cavanaugh. An interesting thing about it is that the story is told entirely through the ground glass viewfinder of a Hasselblad 500C/M.

Sony has announced a new OLED electronic viewfinder display with a huge increase in resolution thanks to the world's smallest pixel pitch of 6.3µm. The viewfinders in Sony mirrorless cameras will soon be both sharper and faster.

Want to see what it looks like to stare through the viewfinder of the new Sony a7 III? Photographer Manny Ortiz made this 5-minute video that shows viewfinder views of an urban photo shoot he did.

The XPan was the first Hasselblad camera to 35mm film and was able to shoot ultra-wide panorama negatives. Photographer Jordan Lockhart decided to mount an action camera to his XPan to capture what it's like to frame the world and shoot with this unique camera.

This 2-minute video from Adorama highlights one super-simple tip that could make your life behind the camera a little easier.

Canon just published an interesting patent that combines the benefits of both an optical and electronic viewfinder to help your camera auto focus like a champ.

Here's a 3-minute skate video that has an usual perspective: it was shot through the waist-level viewfinder of a Mamiya RB67 medium format SLR camera.

What’s in a viewfinder? The view within a viewfinder has always been an opportunity to display additional information to the user. In this post, we'll take a quick look at 8 film SLR and rangefinder camera viewfinders.

When the first Nikon D5 photos leaked out earlier this week, sharp-eyed commenters noticed that the viewfinder appears to have little release buttons on the side, suggesting that the camera will have a larger interchangeable viewfinder piece.

Those observations were spot on: newly leaked photos show that the upcoming Nikon D5 does have a large eyepiece that can be easily removed by pushing the buttons in and sliding the piece off.

LCD screens on the backs of cameras have higher and higher resolutions these days, and since the size isn't usually increasing, we're seeing more pixel density. It appears that Canon has been thinking about creative uses of these high-res displays: a recently published patent shows a Canon digital camera with a loupe-style viewfinder that swings down onto the LCD to use a portion of the large display as the smaller electronic viewfinder.

If you happen to own a Leica M camera, here is an accessory you may find useful: MGR Productions of Hong Kong is selling an adjustable viewfinder magnifier. Simply screw the accessory into your viewfinder ocular and you are ready to begin using it. Twist the dial to vary the magnification level between 1.1x and 1.6x.

After seeing the Paris through a Pentax video we published back in August 2014, filmmaker Keith Tedesco was inspired to turn the concept into a creative short film.

What resulted was "Him & Her," the 6-minute short film above that tells a love story through the viewfinder of a Hasselblad 501C medium format camera.

Fotodiox has announced a new product called the EyeVenger Eyecup Kit that gives photographers a custom viewfinder eyepiece for left and right eyes that blocks out unwanted light.

The digital camera industry is dominated by eye-level viewfinders, but waist-level finders have their advantages. One main one is that it makes photographing strangers less threatening since the photographer is looking down instead of directly at the subjects.

Panasonic might have found the last piece of the puzzle keeping many DSLR users from switching over to mirrorless cameras.

The above image is taken from a patent that diagrams the basics behind adding an optical viewfinder to mirrorless cameras. Even more interesting, the viewfinder would be able to change focal length when synced with any Micro Four Thirds lens.

If this video doesn't make you want to go out and buy a Pentax 67, nothing will. Paris is beautiful enough as-is, but there's something about exploring it through the viewfinder of a classic medium format camera that will tug at your photographic heartstrings and have you nostalgic for the good ol' days.

There are few gadgets as impressive and versatile as the GoPro. Small, lightweight, and capable, it packs a fairly mean punch into a very portable package. But small as the device is, there’s one notable thing missing: a viewfinder or LCD screen of some sort.

Fortunately, GoPro was wise enough allow you to use your smartphone as a live view for your camera, and now that feature is being taken to a more practical level by a new iPhone case/GoPro mount hybrid called Gorigit.

DIRE Studio has released an application for photographers and cinematographers alike that they've aptly named Mark II Artist's Viewfinder.

"Do-it-yourself" can mean a lot of things, but for camera dweebs, it's usually entailed some degree of scavenging and recycling parts from factory-made cameras. Grad student and specialty camera builder Kevin Kadooka understands the ease and accessibility of the practice but doesn't think it's sustainable -- eventually we'll run out of old cameras to cannibalize.

Chances are that over time you've accumulated a good amount of photos on that iPhone of yours, and that makes it rather difficult to find that image from that one time your auntie fell in the swimming pool after one too many cocktails.

Using the metadata attached to each of those images, though, a relatively new app called Viewfinder aims to making organizing, finding and sharing your images, well, easier.

Living in a tourist town like San Francisco, I have frequent opportunities to observe how people use their cameras. Inevitably, these lead to "Why, oh why?" moments in which advanced technology collides with general cluelessness.

When New York City-based photographer Jerrit Pruyn recently asked his girlfriend of 2 years to marry him, he did so in quite a photo-tastic way. Pruyn popped the question through the viewfinder of his old vintage SLR!

Google has been working some time now on a camera-equipped device that's worn over (or above) the eye. Olympus has something similar going on, but instead of a full-fledged camera, their device only serves as an external viewfinder for a separate digital camera.

Photographer Maciej Pietuszynski has posted a (hopefully tongue-in-cheek) …
