Larger screens make viewing easier but size isn&#8217;t the only factor.<\/p>\n<p>Screen resolution affects the sharpness and clarity, and how much detail you can see. The brightness, and the quality of the anti-reflective coatings, determine how easy the screen is to use in bright sun. Some LCD screens can tilt and swivel, useful for high or low angle shooting.<\/p>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_3467&quot;  class=\"c-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 270px\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3467\" title=\"Camera-Viewing-Options-LCD-Screen-Sample\" src=\"http:\/\/www.phototechnique.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/Camera-Viewing-Options-LCD-Screen-Sample.jpg\" alt=\"Camera-Viewing-Options-LCD-Screen-Sample\" width=\"250\" height=\"173\" \/>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">Tilting LCDs make it easier to see when shooting at high angles<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<h4><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-3469\" title=\"Camera-Viewing-Options-LCD-Electronic-Viewfinders\" src=\"http:\/\/www.phototechnique.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/Camera-Viewing-Options-LCD-Electronic-Viewfinders.jpg\" alt=\"Camera-Viewing-Options-LCD-Electronic-Viewfinders\" width=\"200\" height=\"187\" \/>Electronic Viewfinders<\/h4>\n<p>Electronic viewfinder (EVF) camera viewing options are found on Micro System Cameras and some fixed-lens cameras and are essentially a tiny screen inside the camera.<\/p>\n<p>They offer several advantages over optical versions.

After bike-packing the length of France in her teens with her family, she started to undertake solo adventures in her 20s. Always a keen swimmer, she discovered a love of wild water 15 years ago, and has since swum the Dart 10k three times, qualified as a swim coach and learned to freedive. She is formerly editor of Advnture.com and deputy editor of Mountain Biking UK magazine and jumps at the chance to swim somewhere slightly muddy and remote, no matter how cold the water.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/iswim.likeagirl\/"],"url":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/author\/roseewoodland\/"}]}},"acf":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2013\/05\/Camera-Viewing-Options-thumnbail.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-04-11 09:44:39","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3465","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/323"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3465"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3465\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":38527,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3465\/revisions\/38527"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/38528"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3465"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3465"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3465"},{"taxonomy":"product-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product-category?post=3465"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
