VF-4 PEN Electronic Viewfinder 2.3 dot black

Electronic Viewfinder for Olympus PEN Cameras

The black Olympus VF-4 Electronic Viewfinder is compatible with most Olympus PEN digital cameras with a firmware upgrade, but is directly compatible with the E-P5. It attaches to the camera's hot shoe mount, and features a 2,360k-dot resolution on its LCD screen. Use indoors or out, and avoid the glare caused by direct sunlight on the camera's rear LCD. The brightness and contrast of the display can be adjusted up or down in seven increments via the camera's menu.

An eye sensor recognizes when the viewfinder is held to your eye, and will turn on the EVF while turning off the rear LCD. If needed, the VF-4 can tilt up to 90º for composing shots at low angles. A quick refresh rate minimizes ghosting on fast-moving subjects. Use with or without eyeglasses, using the built-in diopter.

The Olympus PEN E-PL5, E-PL3, E-PL2, E-PL1, E-PL1s, E-PM2, E-PM1, E-P3, E-P2, E-M5 and XZ-2 cameras can be made compatible with the VF-4 with a free firmware update, however the eye sensor is not supported on these cameras and with the E-PL2, E-PL1, E-PL1s, E-P2, XZ-2 cameras, slight image degradation on the viewfinder is noted.
