External View Finder

Live View Finder (LVF)

DMW-LVF1*1

A High-performance LVF That Also Displays LCD Data

The DMW-LVF1, 202,000-dot equivalent optional Live View Finder (LVF), features a magnification of approximately 0.52x*2 and 100% field of view.

The LVF is also handy for low-angle shots because it can be tilted vertically from 0 to 90 degrees.
