Olympus VF-4 Electronic Viewfinder for Select Olympus PEN Cameras
Key Features
  • 2,360k-Pixel LCD Resolution
  • 1.48x Magnification & 100% Field of View
  • Automatic Eye-Sensor
  • Built-In Diopter Adjustment
The black VF-4 Electronic Viewfinder for Select Olympus PEN Cameras from Olympus is compatible with most Olympus PEN digital cameras with a firmware upgrade, but is directly compatible with the E-P5. It provides a 2,360k-dot resolution on its LCD screen and it attaches to the camera's hot shoe mount. The VF-4 can be used indoors or outdoors and is particularly beneficial when capturing images in direct sunlight, avoiding the glare often found on a camera's rear LCD monitor. In addition, an eye-level viewfinder allows for more stable shooting because placing the camera to your eye provides a third contact point and steadier control. It offers a quick refresh rate to minimize ghosting on fast-moving subjects.
