This LV ... Good for bright day light , bright f stops . You can see everything very clearly on the LV . When its at f11 & above , still can make it . But , when near evening , after dawn , night time . When you try to use the LV to look at something ... :faint: Even at the brightest f stop , its totally CMI la !

The OVF is blocked by a piece of Black color thing when using the LV . Once you switch to LV , the piece of Black thing will pop up on the OVF .

I only wanted this A350 to shoot Macro , and it had proven that it can do something for me . See my Macro thread for an Insect not bigger than 3mm , its taken by this A350 using the LV .

This LV implementation really try to simulate the outcome on LCD.
However my question is can it simulate the result with flash? I guess that's one of the reason Sony come out F42. Maybe only the newer flash can work well with LV.
Taking macro with smaller than F16 is common. If LV cannot simulate flash, then it will be useless.

bring out for the 50mm outing we all can explore together. There are more situations where LV can help other than macro. :whistle:

Ok Mr Tankm , i will bring it along for the rest to explore with it . But one thing i sure like about the Built-In 1.4x & 2x TC . I can zoom the temple far from my house right to my eyes with the 200-400mm ! :thumbsup:

>>> As for the Pixel Mapping , still do not know what it actually does ... Have to put the front cap back so it can start . Is it to check whether got dead pixels ? It was spoken somewhere here but i cannot find it ... :unsure:

Sorry guys , i missed the 50mm shoot today . :notmyday:

I have realised that this LV will show the actual outcome of the photo , if you are using S Mode in a low lighted room , at 1/125 , it will showed dark ... Unable to see anything . But when its set at 1/10 , it will become brighter !
