Lesson 11 : Handling of Different Types of Camera

Sthephen Bray’s Leica IIIa 35mm Rangefinder Camera (Circa 1939)

• The different placement of the viewfinder to the camera lens is not a problem for long distance, or mid distance shots.

• When a subject is close to the camera this slight difference between viewfinder and camera lens will cause problems, unless corrected.

• Not all digital cameras have such an optical viewfinder, but instead they rely upon the camera’s LCD screen.
