Hello everyone,
for those of us shooting with an EVF and wishing to capture that 'decisive moment' - try this experiment...
Bring up this page and start the stopwatch... now, look at the stopwatch through your EVF with your right eye, while keeping your left eye open and looking at the scene.
Observe the delay between the real clock counter and the image in the EVF... that fraction of a second can mean the difference between capturing - or missing the decisive moment.
From now on, my tip would be to learn to keep both eyes open when shooting action - and use the 'real world eye' for timing the exposure release, while framing and focusing through your 'EVF eye' :
With practice, I'm guessing you'll be able to track action better by keeping both eyes on the target - one eye on 'reality' and one through the EVF.
Cheers
Brian
