How does it work ?
Robert Charles Young writes:
I do not own a digicam, but am looking - so I do not know the answer to the question that I want to ask: If a digicam had the option of viewing by via 'rangefinder', or LED screen, if you turned off the LCD screen, could you avoid the sensor/screen flushing delay? I think what you're asking is this: If a digicam has an optical viewfinder (not a rangefinder, because it doesn't measure distance) and you use that for aiming, and you turn off the LCD (not LED) live image display, does the camera shoot faster? On some Canons, at least, that does indeed seem to be true, particularly if you're also in manual focus mode. Dave |

This has a mode in which it shoots 10 shots per second (and it really does, I tested it). Of course, in a low resolution (presumably bandwidth limits). |
